A SEP IRA is a Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Account for the self-employed with advantages and and challenges for you, and its something you should look into.
There are many places in which you can find more information regarding sep ira calculators. The best place to check is the IRA's main website for this.
That isn't really anything to embarrassed about, but you can find more information about IRA SEP from a financial adviser. Check with HR Block or a similar company, and they can help you.
I suggest looking in the IRS, or the Internal Revenue Service, which offers information on sep ira. It is the most reliable and accurate source if you want to find any information that is government related.
You can rollover your 401k account into any type of IRA, with the exception of an education IRA. However, you need to be careful and make sure that you do a direct rollover, or else you could be hit with taxes and penalties that are north of 40%. Make sure that you do your research.

Can you have both a Sep Ira and a Sep Ira?
A Sep IRA is a type of retirement account where people can put their money in it to save for retirement. These types of saving accounts have a higher interest rate, but the people can't get their money out until they retire.
To withdraw from an sep ira you just have contact the firm that is holding the IRA they can guide you through the steps and give you information on any penalties.
Yes, and sep to traditional as well
Technically, the SEP IRA and the Traditional IRA are the same type of account. The only difference is that the SEP IRA is allowed to receive employer contributions. Therefore, you can combine the SEP IRA into the Traditional IRA without any ramifications. When doing so, move the assets as a (nonreportable) trustee-to-trustee transfer.

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 corporation in 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. Withdrawals are not taxed so in the end a Roth IRA costs less than a Sep IRA. Both types of IRAs are great forms of investment.
