Contributions to a traditional IRA reduce your AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) and lower your taxes. Your contribution must be made by April 15 following the tax year to be deductable. Contributions to a Roth IRA do NOT reduce AGI and do not lower your current taxes.
Although the SEP contribution limits are much higher than those of Roth IRAs, they come with a major caveat: You have to contribute the same percentage of wages for every eligible employee in your company.
