Tax filing deadline is April 18th this year, so you've got until Monday to add money to your Roth IRA for 2021, if you have money that you won't need until you retire.
Contributions to your Roth IRA are not tax deductible since they come out of post tax money. But the deadline is the same.
While you're at it, you can also contribute for 2022. And since the markets are down, it might make sense to do that so that any money you make on that money in a recovery by next April doesn't cost you in taxes.
The limit for individuals this year is $6,000 or 7,000 if you're over 50, and the income-based limitations start at 125k for single and 198k for joint, in 2021. For 2022 the breakpoints go up to 129k and 204k, but the contribution limits are the same.
