No SIMPLE plan if you already maxed a 401(k). The
limitation for 401(k) deferrals includes SIMPLE deferrals.
If you max a 401(k), you max a SIMPLE.

There is also no business like show business. Ba da boom!

Whether she can make SIMPLE contributions depends in large
part on what you mean by "maxing out" her 401(k). There is
an overall dollar limit on salary deferrals, and both the
401(k) and the SIMPLE are salary deferrals. If she's
reached the limit in 401(k) contributions she cannot make
SIMPLE contributions. She could, however, make SEP
contributions.

See IRS Publications 560 and 590.

Default SIMPLE IRA

Hi all,

Hopefully a simple question about a SIMPLE IRA.

Client is employed and maxes out her 401(k).

She also has a Schedule C that netted $23K.

Can she contribute to a SIMPLE?

I assume there is no restriction like a SEP.

Cheers,

Larry
