I meet the IRS requirements of a Real Estate professional. I own real estate that is leased out.
Each property has its own LLC. (Husband and wife-2 member LLC. No salaries to anyone. No employees). My husband is full time in this business as well with me.
For IRS 1040 purposes, we enter the rental income and losses in Sch E. We do not use a Sch C nor do we use form 1065.
Someone had suggested using Sch E some years ago and so far it seems to have been accepted by the IRS.
Based on the income of the above (via ScH E) can we set up a SEP IRA and get the max use of this Retirement plan?
I hear one can contribute the most by setting up a SEP IRA. (In 2020, $57,000 per person?)
If we cannot set up the SEP IRA and contribute the max possible via Sch E, what should we do to be able to max the retirement contribution?
What advise would you give us so we can contribute the max?
Would it be a SEP IRA? Or would it be some other Retirement Plan?
