Simplified Employee Pension. A SEP is a written arrangement (a plan) that allows an employer to make contributions toward your retirement. Contributions are made to an individual retirement account/annuity (IRA). Contributions must be made to either a Model IRA executed on an IRS form or a master or prototype IRA for which the IRS has issued a favorable opinion letter. An employer is not required to make SEP contributions. If a contribution is made, it must be allocated to all the eligible employees according to the SEP agreement. The Model SEP (Form 5305-SEP) specifies that the contribution for each eligible employee will be the same percentage of compensation (excluding compensation higher than $160,000*) for all employees. Your employer will provide you with a copy of the agreement containing participation rules and a description of how employer contributions may be made to your IRA. Your employer must also provide you with a copy of the completed Form 5305-SEP and a yearly statement showing any contributions to your IRA. All amounts contributed to your IRA by your employer belong to you even after you stop working for that employer.
