Simplified Employee Pension Plan (SEP)

A Simplified Employee Pension Plan is a written arrangement (IRS model, prototype document or an individually designated document) that allows an employer to make contributions toward employees' retirement plans. A SEP must be outlined in a formalized plan document. A SEP is funded through Traditional IRA accounts established by the employees to receive employer contributions.

An employee can fund their IRA in conjunction with a SEP, but the aggregate Traditional and Roth IRA contributions cannot exceed $4,000 annually (or $5,000 if aged 50+).

SEPs are generally implemented by small businesses, particularly self employed individuals, who want a retirement savings plan that is easy to establish, inexpensive to maintain and provides a significant tax shelter. There is no limit as to the number of employees that can participate in a SEP IRA.
