Any direct deposits received will be considered contributions for the year during which they were received unless State Farm Mutual Funds is notified. To ensure that your direct deposit is credited to your IRA for the previous tax year,
- the money must be in your State Farm Mutual Funds account by the tax filing deadline for the previous tax year; and
- you must call State Farm at 800-447-4930 to notify us if your contribution is for the prior tax year.
Contribution limits apply: $5,500 for investors under age 50, and $6,500 if age 50 or over.
