Retirement tax questions

I assume that you are a sole proprietor or a partner in a partnership, otherwise the SEP contribution is reported on the business's tax return.  A SEP contribution is entered in the self-employed retirement section of the business section of TurboTax.  It is not to be entered anywhere under Deductions & Credits.

 

For a sole proprietor or partner, the limit for a SEP contribution is 20% of net earnings, not 25%.  Net earnings are net profit from self-employment minus the deductible portion of self-employment taxes.
