SEP PLans

[Guest JDGlenn]

Can a successor company that has eaither a: acquired a predecessor company or b: merged with a predecessor company adopt their SEP plan that was adopted by the predecessor company. As I understand the only vehicle available a new company is a SIMPLE plan or a qualified plan as the SEP's have been repealed.

Note: I have been doing alot of research regarding this topic in RIA and have not found anything. Can anyone give me code section? I need to find an answer

Thanks

SEPs are still in existance. Existing SARSEPs (salary reduction SEPs) are grandfathered. If the SEP of a predecessor is adopted; all service with the predecessor must be counted (for most purposes)under IRC 414(a).
