maximum IRA SEP contribution

[jchesebro]

Your software is telling me my max  SEP contribution is  17k  but my net self employed income was  91k.   I should be able to deposit  18k max,  not  17k.    What is going on?

once your income is set, TurboTax knows how to calculate your max contribution.

You have to adjust your self-employment income by subtracting half of your self-employment income and the expected contribution.  When I calculate the maximum contribution for $91,000 of self-employment income I get $16,813.  Use this worksheet to manually calculate your contribution:  SEP IRA Contribution Worksheet

Rest assured that TurboTax is correctly calculating the maximum contribution.
