SEP (Simplified Employee Pension Plan)

A flexible retirement plan for employers and employees

A SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) Plan is a great option for small businesses and sole proprietors because it allows them to offer a company retirement plan - and participate in it themselves - with minimal paperwork or costs compared to other qualified plans.

Work at saving today…enjoy your retirement tomorrow:

  • Tax deductible for employers: a tax deduction is given to employers for their contributions
  • Flexibility:  employees can use the same account for both SEP contributions and traditional IRA contributions.
  • Contributions: Employers can make contributions, on a discretionary basis, into an SEP IRA that is designated for each eligible employee. Employees do not make contributions and are not taxed for the contributions.
  • Withdrawals: Withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. Qualified withdrawals can begin at age 59 ½ and must begin by age 70 ½. However, you may withdraw money from your SEP IRA without penalty in a number of other circumstances:
    • Purchase of a first home
    • Death or disability
    • Taking equal periodic payments
    • Payment for certain health insurance, medical expenses, or higher education expenses
