When Albrecht Wilhelm Roth erected the genus Mertensia in 1797, he named the Virginia bluebell as Mertensia pulmonarioides, apparently unaware that Linnaeus had already named it in his Species Plantarum. Roth's name is a superfluous synonym and has been used in recent literature. References
Contribution Limits. You can only contribute to your SEP IRA for the previous year if you haven't already maxed out your contributions. For employee contributions, the limit is the same as the traditional and Roth IRA limits -- $5,500 if you're under 50 and $6,500 if you're 50 and older as of 2013.For example, if you've already put in $6,500 in your Roth IRA, you can't add any more to your SEP IRA as an employee.he employer contributions are made with pre-tax dollars while the employee contributions are treated as if the contributions were made to a traditional IRA. Whether you can contribute for a previous year depends on your filing deadlines and how much you've already contributed.
Contributions can be made to a SEP-IRA after age 70 1/2, and distributions are subject to the same rules that govern traditional deductible IRA distributions. It may seem strange, but if you continue to work after age 70 1/2, youâll have to take taxable withdrawals in the same year you make deductible contributions.n 2008 you can contribute 100 percent of your earnings up to a maximum of $5,000 to an IRA ($6,000 if youâll turn age 50 by Dec. 31). If youâre married, your nonworking spouse can also contribute the same amount to an IRA as long as total IRA contributions that year donât exceed the amount of your earned income.
