Deductions & credits

SEPs can get set up to contribute up to 25% of salary up to an annual maximum, and that amount is going up in 2019. Maximum contributions are $56,000 in 2019, up from $55,000 in 2018 and marking the third straight year of annual increases..

 

Do your 401k contributions reduce the amount you can contribute to a SEP IRA?

The answer is no, assuming that the 401k and SEP IRA are with two different companies not under common control. Why? While the employee contribution limits to a 401k are per person, the employer contribution limits (including a SEP IRA for the self-employed) are per plan.
