| The SEP-IRA (Simplified Employee Pension)
is a retirement plan designed for small-business owners, the self-employed
and their
employees. Those who qualify for a SEP-IRA can currently deduct
the lesser of 25% or $41,000 of their income each year.
The beauty of this plan is its simplicity. Unlike Keogh Plans,
also designed for the self-employed, there are no annual reports
to file with the IRS and no trustee requirements. As with all IRAs,
however, it is important to consult with a tax advisor about your
specific financial situation in order to set up a plan that works
best for you.
