This. One thing - make sure the fund administrator knows 100% they are for tax year 2017! I sent a couple checks out in 2018 for tax year 2017 and - EVEN THOUGH I designated them 2017 - they were deposited as 2018 contributions. I was able to get it straightened out. ----------------------------------------

Yep. They should be old hands at this. Usually there's a checkbox on the deposit form/website. If not, check with their customer support folks. |
