A SEP IRA may best suited for self-employed individuals or small business owners looking to make higher contributions than with a traditional or Roth IRA. This is partly because SEP IRA rules require that employers contribute an equal percentage of compensation to all eligible employees' accounts, including their own.
ERISA Does Not Apply to Solo 401k Plans and IRAs However, ERISA does not cover IRAs or owner-only plans such as solo 401k plans.
Solo 401k plans are not typically classified as standard ERISA plans, because these plans are for business owners only. Solo 401k plans don't include non-owner employees, so there are certain titles of ERISA that don't apply to the Solo 401k.
There are five main choices for the self-employed or small-business owners: an IRA (traditional or Roth), a Solo 401(k), a SEP IRA, a SIMPLE IRA or a defined benefit plan.
Self-employed IRA – traditional or Roth An individual retirement account (IRA) is a good option if you're saving less than $7,000 for the year, if you're self-employed, or if you're leaving a job to start a business.
Common types of employer-sponsored retirement accounts that fall under ERISA include 401(k) plans, pensions, deferred-compensation plans, and profit-sharing plans. In addition, ERISA laws don't apply to simplified employee pension (SEP) IRAs or other IRAs.
employed 401(k) is a qualified retirement plan for a small business where the only employees are the owner(s) of the business and/ or the spouse(s) of the owner(s) if they work for the business. You shouldn't use this plan if you have any other employees.
To know if you're part of an ERISA plan, simply ask your employer. They can confirm if your plan is self-funded under ERISA or regulated by state law through an HMO or insurance company.
Keogh plans can operate similarly to a pension plan, profit-sharing plan or a 401(k), and are more complicated than a SEP IRA or solo 401(k). They typically require help from financial professionals, which could include actuaries, tax advisors and financial advisors.
Cons of SEP IRA If you contribute 10% of your own wages, you must also contribute 10% on behalf of all your employees. Minimum distributions and age requirement: SEP IRAs are subject to required minimum distributions (RMDs), which means you must begin taking withdrawals (and paying taxes on them) at age 73.
