M Norton Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Can an employer sponsor a 401(k) and a SEP at the same time? Only 3 employees plus owner (who gets no compensation except health insurance reported on K-1 as guaranteed payments). One employee long-term, other two employees less than 3 years service. Owner wants to reward long-term employee but doesn't want to create big taxable income for him, so considering doing a SEP contribution. Long-term employee would meet 3-of-5 years eligibility but other two employees would not for the current year. Thanks.
CuseFan Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 You can have a SEP and a qualified plan but cannot use the IRS model SEP (or whatever the proper description) and must use a provider SEP document, the terms of which allow for sponsorship of another plan.
