SIMPLE IRA
CAN AN EMPLOYER WITH MULTIPLE COMPANIES (EACH HAS ITS OWN TIN) SET UP SEPARATE SIMPLE IRA PLANS FOR EACH COMPANY? THE REASON THAT HE WOULDN’T SET UP ONE PLAN IS BECAUSE OF THE 100 EMPLOYEE LIMIT.

If the controlled group and family attribution rules require all entities to be included in the SIMPLE IRA, breaking the SIMPLE IRA account up into multiple accounts will not circumvent the 100 employee limitation. All such companies must be covered with a single SIMPLE IRA account, and if the employee count is over 100, none of these companies are eligible for a SIMPLE IRA.
