I have a question about specifics. I would like to open a Roth IRA for 2008, but would like to wait as long as I can to do it. So if I wait until April 14th of 2009, can I still open a new IRA for 2008 and max it out, or does it have to be opened in 2008. In other words, Can I only contribute to it until April 14th of 2009 if it has already been opened in the year I want to make my contributions for? A reference would also be helpful, thank you.
