What’s the difference between a Traditional and a Roth IRA?
A Traditional IRA allows for tax-deductible contributions, with taxes paid upon withdrawal in retirement. In contrast, a Roth IRA involves after-tax contributions, allowing tax-free withdrawals in retirement.
Are there income limits for contributing to a Roth IRA?
Yes, income limits apply based on your tax filing status and Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). Check the current IRS guidelines for the most accurate details.
What are SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, and how do they differ?
SEP IRA (Simplified Employee Pension): A retirement plan primarily for self-employed individuals or small business owners. Employers contribute directly to employees' accounts, and contributions are flexible and higher than traditional IRAs. Employees cannot contribute.
SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees): A retirement plan for small businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Both employers and employees can contribute. Employers must either match employee contributions up to 3% of salary or make a 2% non-elective contribution for all eligible employees.
The key difference is who can contribute and the contribution requirements. SEP IRAs focus on employer-only contributions, while SIMPLE IRAs involve both employer and employee contributions.
Are there penalties for early withdrawals?
Yes, early withdrawals from SEP or SIMPLE IRAs before age 59½ are typically subject to a 10% penalty, in addition to regular income tax. For SIMPLE IRAs, the penalty increases to 25% if the withdrawal occurs within the first two years of participation. Certain exceptions may apply.
How much can I contribute to a SEP or SIMPLE IRA as an employer?
SEP IRA: Employers can contribute up to 25% of an employee’s compensation or a maximum of $66,000 in 2025, whichever is less. Contributions must be the same percentage for all eligible employees.
SIMPLE IRA: Employers must either match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of the employee’s salary or make a non-elective contribution of 2% of each eligible employee’s salary, regardless of whether the employee contributes.
Contribution limits may be subject to annual adjustments, so it’s important to check current guidelines.
