If the plan year is different the fiscal year, there is a good chance two sets of compensation values will need to be used, one for deductibility purposes, and the other for plan allocation purposes. The ESOP plan document definition of compensation may be different than the compensation used for deduction limits.
SEP IRA Contribution Limits. The 2015 and 2016 SEP IRA contribution limit is $53,000. For incorporated businesses, compensation is based on W-2 income. Annual contributions can be made into a SEP IRA up to 25% of W-2 income. For those taxed as sole proprietors compensation is based on adjusted earned income. Adjusted earned income is determined by completing an IRS worksheet. SEP IRA contributions of 20% of adjusted earned income can be made annually. In 2015 and 2016 annual compensation of more than $265,000 cannot be taken into consideration for determining contributions. Contributions to a SEP IRA are generally 100% tax deductible and investment earnings in a SEP IRA grow taxed deferred.
