"A Roth IRA contribution checklist fails when the money lands in a taxable account and you call it a Roth."
⚡ 5-Minute Starters
→Open this year's IRS Roth page
→Log in to the custodian, not a blog
→See whether a Traditional contribution already used the limit
⚠ Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠Using last year's limit from memory → the IRS number changes
⚠Missing the tax-year choice → January money can post to the wrong year
⚠Skipping beneficiaries → the account can outlive you without a name on it
Year chosen. Limit checked. Proof saved.

Use this Roth IRA contribution checklist before the tax-year deadline, not after a guess.
The Mindset
The contribution counts only if you were allowed to make it, the custodian coded it as Roth, and you can show the year.— The principle behind every Checklistsfor list
The Tools
Roth Hacks
→IRS page first, blogs lag the limit
→Shared limit, Traditional plus Roth cannot both take the full amount
→Tax year is a click, do not let the custodian default it
→PDF the confirmation, April you will want it
→Beneficiaries the same day, the transfer screen is already open
