Keogh/SEP/Worksheet does not allow for the simultaneous contributions of these two DC-type plans.
My client maxes out his combined (50+ years) DC limit every year (2024 $76,500) with a more modest income than $345,000. The is the limit stated on the worksheet and otherwise.
He does this by ..
1. Maxing his 2024 "elective deferral" of $23,000 and $7,500. To equal $30,500
2. Then subtract that from $76,500. Leaving $46,000
3. Then dividing by 2 and getting $23,000
4. Contributing both $23,000 as the employer to the 401(k) and the SEP.
If I use the above worksheet, it incorrectly calculates that the maximum deferral is substantially less. This year, the number it calculates to $42,305
Each year, I go in and override it. Several years ago, I did call in and point this out. Unfortunately, the rep was dear in the head-lights about what I was talking about.
I think the worksheet is very misleading and technically wrong.
