In this episode you will learn:
- SEP-IRA contributions are made only by the employer and are discretionary each year.
- The SEP contribution for a self-employed person is based on net adjusted self-employment income, not gross profit.
- SIMPLE-IRAs are for employers with 100 or fewer employees and allow for both employee and mandatory employer contributions.
- The two employer funding options for a SIMPLE-IRA are a 3% match or a 2% nonelective contribution.
- Withdrawals from a SIMPLE-IRA within the first two years of participation face a steep 25% penalty, not the usual 10%.
