When is the SEP filing deadline?
Asked Monday, November 14, 2011 by an anonymous userCPA Answer:
Unlike a Keogh, which must be set up before the end of the taxable year in which the plan is to be effective, a employer may contribute to a SEP (Simplified Employee Pension IRA) set up by the filing deadline of Form 1040 (generally 4/15/XX) including extensions.
What is a SEP?
Asked Monday, November 14, 2011 by an anonymous userCPA Answer:
A SEP is an abbreviation for a Simplified Employee Pension IRA. A retirement plan that an employer or self-employed individuals can establish.
The employer is allowed a tax deduction for contributions made to the SEP plan and makes contributions to each eligible employee's SEP IRA on a discretionary basis.
Contributions to SEP IRAs are immediately 100% vested, and the IRA owner directs the investments.
