A Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan is put in place when an employer adopts a SEP agreement and has qualifying employees. To be eligible for the employer’s SEP-IRA plan, an employee must:
1. Be at least 21 years old.
2. Have worked for the employer for at least three of the last five years.
3. Earn at least $450 in compensation for the tax year.
With these criteria met, an employer can establish a SEP by following three essential steps:
1. Create a Written Agreement: A legal written agreement, conforming to IRS standards, must be executed. This typically involves using Form 5305-SEP, Simplified Employee Pension - Individual Retirement Accounts Contribution Agreement. Approved prototypes from financial institutions or a custom-designed SEP can also be adopted.
2. Inform Eligible Employees: Employees must receive all necessary information about the SEP. If using Form 5305-SEP, include a copy of the form, instructions, and guidelines. This ensures employees understand the SEP setup and benefits.
3. Set Up SEP-IRA Accounts: A SEP-IRA must be established for each eligible employee. This can be done through various financial institutions. The employee controls the account, while the employer ensures contributions are sent to the designated institution.
Employers can easily establish SEPs to support their employees' post-retirement financial needs. The process involves confirming eligible employees and adopting an IRS-compliant SEP agreement. Once these are in place, the employer can choose a financial institution to host the organization’s SEP-IRA accounts. SEPs are straightforward to set up and manage, offering the benefits of an IRA in a simplified form.
