IRA Information for the Self-Employed

If you're self-employed, set up a SEP-IRA. A SEP-IRA allows you to contribute a much higher percentage of your earnings to your retirement than a traditional IRA would. You will also enjoy more tax benefits from contributing more. For 2006, you can contribute 25% of your income to a SEP-IRA up to $44,000. This amount is adjusted each year. Visit the IRS Web site to get IRA information about future adjustments. You can set up a SEP-IRA for your home business even if you have regular employment and a retirement plan elsewhere.
