No you cannot. SEP-IRAs are contributory in nature meaning you can make contributions to them but you cannot rollover non-SEP-IRAs (or 401k accounts) into a SEP-IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow against the 401(k) but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporationin a 401(k)

A Sep IRA stands for Simplified Employee Pension IRA. Withdrawals from Sep IRA funds are taxed as if it was ordinary income. Taxes are paid at the beginning when a Roth IRA is opened.

Can you have Both A Sep Ira and a Roth Ira?

Yes. Your ability to have a personal or spousal Roth IRA is a separate questions from whether you can have a SEP IRA. Anyone with earned income can contribute up to $4,000 (or $5,000 if your are 50 or over) in 2007 and $5,000 (or $6,000 in 2008) if they meet the income requirements. You must have earned income of under $99,000 for 2007 and $101,000 for 2008 for singles or $156,000 for 2007 and $159,000 for 2008 for married filing jointly. For a SEP IRA, you must have business income to contribute. You can contribute up to 25% of your business income with a limit of $45,000 in 2007 and $50,000 in 2008 (those 50 years or older may contribute $5,000 more). Thus, if you have business income, you can contribute to your ROTH IRA if you are eligible and a SEP IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow in a 401k but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporationin a 401(k)
