Retirement tax questions

A simplified employee pension (SEP IRA) is a retirement plan that an employer or self-employed individuals can establish. The employer is allowed a tax deduction for contributions made to the SEP plan and makes contributions to each eligible employee's SEP IRA on a discretionary basis. 

 

 

Then, the IRS outlines three steps for setting up your SEP IRA:

  1. Create a formal written agreement. You can do this with IRS Form 5305-SEP or through your account provider.
  2. Give eligible employees information about the SEP IRA. ...
  3. Set up separate SEP IRAs for each eligible employee with the account provider.
