Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP)

Business owners may establish a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) retirement plan and contribute a certain percentage of each eligible employee’s compensation directly to the employee’s traditional IRA each year.

  • A business of any size—including self-employed—can establish a SEP.
  • Requires separate IRA plan for each employee
  • An employer may contribute up to 25% (or as determined by IRS) of an employee’s compensation
  • A SEP is funded solely by employer contributions, which are generally deductible for the business owner
  • SEP/IRA owners must take required minimum distribution at age 73 to avoid penalties.
