Their overall limit is 25% of compensation. But an over 50 contribution doesn't count toward the limit.

Hi SGRCPA,

"Their overall limit is 25% of compensation. But an over 50 contribution doesn't count toward the limit."

So, for example, does this mean that if an SCorp owner's SEP for 2021 is $32,000 ($128,000 x 25%) and they are > 50 yrs old they can contribute up to $6,500 more?

 Are there two different employers?  i.e. S-Corp has SEP and "regular" unrelated W-2 job has 401(k)?

I don't have a cite handy but I didn't think an employer could have both a SEP and a 401(k).

Started their own new topic, here:

No need to keep diving into it in both places. And especially, this topic is from last year, and a new topic will get current info. Retirement plans and tables are a moving target and change every year, even without the new bills that were passed that affect 2021.
