Retirement tax questions

SEP IRA accounts are individual accounts in the name of the employee.  Check with the SEP IRA custodian for the custodian's procedure for the employer to open a SEP IRA account for the employee and for the employer to submit contributions.  The account must be specifically established as a SEP IRA account, not an ordinary traditional IRA account.

The SEP IRA contribution will appear as a pension expense on the S corp's tax return, Form 1120S line 17.  See the Instructions for Form 1120S:  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1120s.pdf
