SEP IRA

SEP stands for “Simplified Employee Pension”. One of the unique features of the SEP IRA plan is this is the only type of retirement plan that can be established after December 31st. In addition, the plan does not have to be funded until tax filing deadlineplus extension. Below is a summary of the plan features:

Type of Company No restrictions
Establish Deadline Tax filling deadline plus extension
Max EE Deferral Not applicable
Max ER Contribution 2024 20% – 25% Comp Up To $69,000 Max
Annual Admin Cost $0
Max Employee Eligibility 3 Year Wait

SEP IRA’s usually work best for owner only entities or companies with less than 5 employees. Why? SEP IRA’s are 100% employer funded and the contribution is expressed as a percentage of comp. If the owner contributes 20% of comp for themselves they have to contribution 20% of comp for all eligible employees. The good news, the company can keep new employees out of the plan for 3 years, if the plan is designed correctly. It’s often the case that small companies will start with a SEP IRA Plan but as soon as employees start becoming eligible for the plan, they terminate the SEP IRA and replace it with a Simple IRA or 401(k) plan.
