Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension (SARSEP) IRA Account
A Salary Reduction Simplified Employee Pension IRA is a tax-deferred retirement plan provided by small businesses with fewer than 25 employees. Both the employees and the employer can make contributions to SARSEP IRAs. The contributions are made pre-tax through salary reduction and grow tax-deferred, along with any investment earnings until distribution, usually at the time of retirement.
SARSEP IRAs are subject to the same rules that govern a Traditional IRA.
Is a SARSEP IRA right for you?
No new plans are permitted. An employer would have had to establish a plan prior to December 31, 1996 to be eligible to contribute. However, an employer that already offers the plan may add new employees.
