To enter your SEP IRA contributions, follow this article's instructions:
Before you enter your SEP IRA contributions, make sure you've entered your self-employed income. This lets us calculate the maximum amount you can contribute to your SEP IRA.
Once your self-employment income is entered:
- Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
- Navigate to the SEP IRA contributions section:
- TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to SEP IRA contributions.
- TurboTax Desktop: Search for and select SEP IRA contributions (use this exact phrase, including the s on contributions).
- On the Self-Employed Retirement Plans screen, answer Yes to Did you make a 2025 self-employed retirement plan contribution?
- Depending on if you contributed, select Yes or No to the question Did you contribute to an Individual or Roth 401(k) plan?
- If you get the message Self-Employed Retirement Plans are only for self-employed individuals (such as those filing Schedules, C, F, or K-1), this means that you haven't entered your self-employed income yet. Once you've entered your income, you can come back to these instructions.
- On the next screen, select Yes to Do you want to make a contribution to a Keogh, SEP or SIMPLE retirement plan for 2025?
- Answer any additional questions until you get to the Your Contributions screen, where you’ll be able to input your SEP IRA contributions.
If you want to enter contributions to a Traditional or Roth IRA, follow these instructions.
If you want to enter IRA distributions reported on Form 1099-R, follow these instructions.
