Contribution Reporting for SEP IRA Accounts
SEP IRA Contributions are reported by the actual calendar year
Unlike a Traditional or a Roth IRA, a contribution to a SEP IRA reports in the actual calendar year the contribution is made. As a result, contributions to a SEP IRA cannot be re-coded and will report a contribution(s) based on the actual calendar year the contribution was made on Form 5498 due to IRS rules. Please refer to the Reporting Requirements section of the IRS SEP Plan FAQ page.
How do I select my contribution year?
Only applicable to Traditional and Roth IRAs
When depositing via ACH, you may select your Contribution year using the Deposit Type dropdown menu in Section 4 of the Deposits Page.
To ensure a timely contribution, please make your IRA account has an already-established ACH relationship. ACH relationships can be made using our instant bank linking system if your bank is listed. If your bank is not listed, then you can manually input your banking information. To learn more about funding via ACH, please click here.
