    As far as I know, you must wait until 1/1. I'm sure there are IRS docs online that would tell you for sure.

        The first day you can make them is 1/2/15. (1/1 is a federal holiday).

            Well, you could initiate the transaction on the 1st if you are doing it online but it won't actually get processed until the 2nd.

              What about mailing a 2015 contribution check postmarked Dec 31?

                That works but who does anything by mailing a check today?

                  I think you have to wait for 1st date of the year for your contribution, but if you want to do it before the date then you should consult to your service provider, there you get know exact information about it.
