  Thus, if you have business income, you can contribute to your ROTH IRA if you are eligible and a SEP IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s.
You can contribute to both a SEP IRA and a traditional IRA in the same year, but there are some factors to consider. Contribution limits can vary based on whether you're the business owner, and different rules might apply depending on the plan's rules. SEP stands for Simplified Employee Pension.
