Gone but not forgotten
Will my Ira contribution be deductible if I worked one month last year and I have a taxable pension ?
Right, you have to have earned income from work. I assume that the work did not have any kind of retirement plan for you to contribute to.
As long as your estimated taxes add up to your tax liability for last year (this one may not work). Or, alternatively, as long as the amount owed is less than $1,000 there is no penalty.
