John Bowens outlines the pros and cons of a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) Plan.

SEP Eligibility
Any employer—whether a corporation, partnership, or self-employed individual—may establish the plan, even if there is only one employee.

Employees must meet ALL of the following requirements:

- Be at least 21 years of age;
- Have worked for the business during any three of the past five years; and
- Have earned the $600 annual minimum required compensation.
- Spouses and children may also participate in the plan and open their own SEP IRAs—as long as they are employees of the company and meet the income requirements.
