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?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
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.
