SEP 5305 vs 5305A
I’m opening a SEP for a client who is an S corp (one employee). Do I need to open a 5305 or a 5305A? And, what is the difference between the two? Thanks.

5305 A is a salary reduction SEP (SARSEP). These were discontinued for newly established plans after 1996. Therefore, you must use the 5305 unless you want to establish a prototype (specially designed) SEP for certain reasons.
