IRA Deduction

Depending on your income you might do better with a SEP IRA. You can try it to see the effect on your tax liability. It is an adjustment to income on Sch 1.

IRA Deduction

The biggest advantage to a SEP IRA is higher contribution limits.  Contributions an employer can make to an employee's SEP-IRA cannot exceed the lesser of:

  1. 25% of the employee's compensation, or
  2. $61,000 for 2022 ($58,000 for 2021 and $57,000 for 2020)
