SEP IRA

Can a business owner contribute to an IRA and SEP IRA in the same year?



Yes, but the SEP contribution is treated as active participation in a plan and may affect the deduction of a TIRA contribution. While a personal (TIRA) contribution can be made to a SEP IRA that also receives the SEP contribution, there is a risk that the TIRA contribution can be miscoded as a SEP, so it is safer to make these contributions to separate IRA accounts.
