Question: Can I make a Traditional IRA and a SEP-IRA at the same time?

I am currently self-employed. I have a Traditional IRA (a rollover from my former employer sponsored 401k) and a SEP-IRA. Can I contribute the maximum allowable to both by this April 15th?

Answer: No. You cannot make additional contributions to a Rollover IRA.

Make all of your contributions to your SEP.

Good luck, and happy filing!

Question: Can a person make maximum contributions to a SIMPLE IRA and a 401k in the same year?

The person works for two employers, one has a 401k, the other has a SIMPLE IRA.

Answer: There is a maximum you can contribute to your 401(k) and a maximum you can contribute to an IRA. The two have separate limits and one does not affect the other.

Also, if you are contributing to a 401(k) it is generally a good idea to contribute to a Roth IRA as opposed to a traditional IRA unless you need the immediate tax write off.
