    sepira age limit for contribution

    Is there a limitation by age to contribute to Sep-Ira?

    #2
    From this page at IRS: https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans...-contributions

    "Can I contribute to the SEP-IRA of a participant over age 70 ½?

    You must contribute for each employee eligible to participate in your SEP, even if they are over age 70 ½. The employee must also take minimum distributions, however. If you haven’t contributed for an eligible employee in your SEP plan, find out how you can correct this mistake."

      can single member llc over 70 1/2 contribute to a SEP-IRA.

      Is there limitation to an individual over 70 1/2 to contribute to a SEP-IRA without having any employees?

        You will find the answer to that in IRS Publication 560.

          Simple Answer is No

          No age limit as long as there is earned income, subject to all the other comments that have been made.

          I trust your question is for a self-employed SEP/IRA and not a "SIMPLE".

            Simple

            Why would you think the Simple has an age limit for being eligible??

              Confused

              Simple Plan is an employer based plan and I see no age limit as long as you are working with earned income.

                Simple is a Double Entendre

                I don't necessarily think that. I haven't encountered the situation so I really don't know.

                I cautioned readers from drawing conclusions because I used "Simple" in the title of my response. I didn't want someone taking the word and driving the train off the track.

                  While the IRS cautions us that FAQs are not a source of authority, I think you can rely on this Q&A found on the IRS site.

                  Can I contribute to a SIMPLE IRA of a participant over age 70 ½?

                  Yes, you must. Employees who are age 70 ½ or over may make salary deferral contributions to their SIMPLE IRAs. Employers must continue to make matching or nonelective contributions to employees’ SIMPLE IRAs even after an employee reaches age 70 ½. However, an employee who is age 70 ½ must also begin to take required minimum distributions from the account.
                  Employees may not be excluded from participating in a SIMPLE IRA plan based solely on their age.
