SEP IRA

2 Brothers who own a Plumbing LLC open a SEP IRA. What happens if eligible employees fail to open an account to receive the employer contribution?

The employer opens a SEP IRA for each such employee and makes the required contribution to those SEP IRAs.

Thanks ALan, but the employee has to complete the applications etc.  What happens if they just dont bother….Sounds strange I know, free money.

The employer should be able to open the account since they are required to make contributions for all eligible employees. Does the employer have all this info?  If so, does the institution lack experience with SEP IRAs?
