Question about SEP IRA for S-Corp

Dec 19, 2007 1 Replies

I know there are percentage limits on the SEP IRA for what someone can contribute.



With my S-Corp, I pay myself a salary, and the rest of the profits are paid out as a distribution (I am the only shareholder).



Would my % limit be based on my salary, or on my salary+distributions?



Thanks.



I believe that k-1 earnings are not includable in the calculation, only EARNED income. [Note: That's the IRS definition of earned. I'm betting you "earned" every penny.]

Are (or your spouse) the only employee of the company?
