I’ve recently become self employed and have a 401k at my old job. I just started doing research on self employed retirement plans like the SEP IRA and individual 401k. I found some good information about them here http://www.individual401k.com
From reading information about them the Individual 401k and SEP have the same limits $44,000 but with the individual 401k you might be able to contribute more at “identical income levels”. Here is a quote from their website.
“Compared to other retirement plans you may be able to make greater contributions at identical income levels, therefore maximizing retirement contributions and valuable tax deductions.”
Has anyone else set one of these retirement plans up? Should I setup a SEP IRA instead of an Individual 401k? What are the main things I should be considering when I make my decision?
Thank you for any information you can provide about the SEP IRA or Individual 401k to someone who is self employed.
