Oh, how I wish I could send this...
Dear Beloved Shareholder,
It is not our fault that your CPA informed you incorrectly regarding the 2006 tax deadlines. Your deadline is past, and you're out of luck. We strongly encourage you to seek a new CPA, seeing as your current one obviously does not know what he's doing.
Please do your research* before you start yelling at us on the phone on your bathroom break. It just makes you look more like a jerk.
Thank you,
Disgruntled Shareholder Services Representative
* The IRS has lovely Publication 590, which very clearly explains your deadlines. Ninny.
From the publication:
Contributions must be made by due date. Contributions can be made to your traditional IRA for a year at any time during the year or by the due date for filing your return for that year, not including extensions. For most people, this means that contributions for 2006 must be made by April 17, 2007, and contributions for 2007 must be made by April 15, 2008.
Fine print: This also applies to Roth IRA's. The "most people" includes you, too, sir.
(If I was ever in doubt of taking that programming position when it comes up... I'm not now. And yes, I know all kinds of fun/weird/inane stuff about all kinds of retirment plans, it comes with the job :p I'm also kind of impressed, the IRS publication is actually in layman's terms...)
