Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) IRAs

SEP is the acronym for Simplified Employee Pension. This type of plan is a simplified tax-favored retirement plan designed for small businesses/employers. Any type of organization (sole proprietorship, partnership, C corporation, S corporation, tax-exempt organization) is eligible to establish a plan for its employees.

Primary advantages are low administrative costs and no complex IRS reporting or testing requirements.

  • Annual contributions are limited to the lesser of 25% of an employee's compensation or $42,000.
  • Contribution amounts may vary from year to year at the employer's discretion.
  • The eligibility requirements for participation may be restriction to those employees who have performed services for the employer in at least 3 of the immediately preceding 5 years.  However, employers may impose lesser restrictions if desired.
  • All contributions are immediately 100% vested.
  • Plans may be established and funded up until the employer's tax return due date plus extensions.
