SEP-IRA Plan Checklist

Well-suited for employers who:

  • Want a low-cost, flexible plan.
  • Want contribution flexibility from year-to-year.
  • Have 10 or fewer employees.

How Does It Work?

You make voluntary tax-deductible contributions for yourself and for your eligible employees.


What Are the Advantages?

Advantages for you:

  • A retirement plan can help recruit and keep quality employees.

  • Contributions are discretionary. You decide how much to contribute each year (up to 25% of pay.)

  • It's easy to establish. You have until your tax filing deadline, including extensions.

  • Contributions can be deducted from corporate taxes as a business expense.

Advantages for employees:

  • Taxation of earnings on the amount saved is deferred.

  • It builds a part of retirement savings.

  • The contributions are made by you, not the employees.

Is It Right for My Business?

A SEP-IRA may be a good plan design for you if the following statements match your retirement plan objectives and capabilities:

  • I want to fund the plan - employees don't make contributions.

  • I don't have administrative expenses associated with the plan.

  • An ongoing administrative contact is not necessary. Support through an 800 phone number is fine.

  • I don't want to bother with much annual compliance testing or IRS reporting.
