Although it depends on your circumstances, it is often better to fund an individual 401k for the following reasons: 1. The contribution limits are higher in a 401(k) 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 corporationi n a 401(k) Fees may be higher in an individual 401k, depending on the custodian and once you have $250,000 in your individual 401k, you must file Form 5500 with the IRS annually. Most custodians will help you complete the form.
