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.
The SEP stands for simplified employee pension. It is an individual retirement account or IRA, into which employers can make retirement contributions for themselves and their employees. Compared a 401(k) retirement plan, a SEP IRA is relatively simple to start and manage. There's far less paperwork and annual filing. Plus, annual contribution limits are much higher than you'll find in most other retirement plans. As with other tax-advantaged retirement plans, contributions to a SEP IRA can be invested tax-deferred until the money is withdrawn at retirement, beginning at age 59 1/2 and no later than age 70 1/2.
