With regard to tax breaks, an SEP IRA favors the employer while a SIMPLE IRA favors employees. SEP IRAs do not allow for employee contributions, so you do all of the funding. However, 100 percent of the funds you contribute to your own account and to your employees' accounts are tax deductible.
To do so, you basically close your existing IRA and transfer its funds to the SEP IRA. Your existing IRA cannot be a Roth plan. A traditional IRA and a SEP IRA are both tax-deferral plans; you deduct your contributions from income for tax purposes, but you will pay taxes when you withdraw the funds at retirement.ou can claim a tax deduction for up to $5,000 a year contributed into a traditional IRA, but you can usually defer up to 10 percent of your pay in a SEP.
