How a SEP IRA Works – Contributions, Benefits, Obligations and IRS Form 5305-SEP

    Great video! I am an employee of an S Corp. If my employer makes the contributions, can I (the employee) still get a deduction because it is tax deferred?

    Thank you for the information! I subscribed! 2020 was a bad year and by calculation I could only contribute about $1500. I already filed my tax in Feb and got refunds. Is it worth filing an amendment to include my $1500 contribution to SEP IRA? Thank you.

    Thanks for this video. I have a SEP IRA (and am self-employed, no employees). When making my contribution for tax year 2019 before the filing deadline (in July 2020), I miscalculated my maximum contribution and transferred almost $200 more than the maximum amount into my SEP IRA account. I caught the error and submitted my 2019 tax return with the correct maximum contribution amount. Since my brokerage firm does not capture information about the tax year for which the contribution is intended, and the allowable period for making SEP IRA contributions for consecutive tax years overlaps, would I be able to simply reduce funding into my account when I file my 2020 taxes and avoid all the complicated excess/over contribution corrective actions? In other words, if the amount I added to my SEP IRA account during CY 2020 was $25, 200, and my maximum contribution for 2019 and 2020 were $25,000 and $20,000 respectively, could I just fund the account with $19,800 before April 15, 2021? And since I reported $25K on my tax return as my contribution for 2019, should I report a $20K (v $19.8K) SEP IRA contribution on my 2020 taxes?

    Thanks for the information. If you make an excess contribution to a SEP IRA is the process similar to Roth IRA for correction? There's plenty of info on correcting an excess contribution for a Roth IRA, but not so much for SEP.
