Ultimate guide to retirement. A SEP IRA is a type of traditional IRA for self-employed individuals or small business owners. (SEP stands for Simplified Employee Pension.) Any business owner with one or more employees, or anyone with freelance income, can open a SEP IRA.
SEP Contribution and Distribution Basics. If you are self-employed and have no other employees or high employee turnover, a SEP IRA may be a good solution for your retirement needs. A SEP allows you to make pretax contributions similar to a traditional IRA, which reduces your taxable income rather than after-tax contributions like a Roth IRA. Another advantage over a Roth IRA is the higher contribution limit. You may contribute as much as 25 percent of your annual income, up to $50,000 cap, in 2012.
