When you are self-employed, you have several options in tax sheltered retirement plans. Here are 4 key benefits of using a SEP IRA:

• First, you may defer income at a much larger percentage of your pay than through a Traditional IRA.
• Next, your investment options run the gamut. You are not limited to 15 – 20 investment options as in a 401K.
• Furthermore, as a sole proprietor, a SEP allows you the additional discretion of funding in profitable years and not funding in challenging years.
• Lastly, A SEP also allows for contributions up to the tax filing deadline, plus extensions.

Consult a qualified adviser to discuss your specific circumstances. Not all qualified plans have the same provisions and an individual analysis is necessary.
