For more than six weeks I have been unable to get my BALANCE from the website. What if a bank did this? My guess is that the FDIC would have real issues.</p>J.

I believe Jim is right-on. TIAA-CREF will apply your money per your instructions as a 2005 contribution even if it occurred after 4/15. However, just make sure you keep a record of what occurred in case you get audited by the IRS... that is the only time you will be asked to justify the date discrepancy.
