Does opening a new Roth IRA, and making contributions for the previous tax year require me to amend my taxes?

by Roth IRA Answer Gal on March 6, 2010

Here is my situation: I have already filed my 2009 taxes. I would like to open a new Roth IRA and make a large contribution under the 2009 tax year. If I do this, would I need to file an amendment to my 2009 taxes?

No, because the IRS strangely does not require you to report Roth IRA contributions.
