It's a little more complex than that. The formula is
actually 20% of your (Schedule C net income minus one-half
of the self-employment tax associated with that income). You
can establish your SEP-IRA anytime up to April 15 (October
15 if you put your return on extension).

You have until the extended due date of your return to make
SEP contributions for 2004. Remember that these
contributions are based solely on your earnings from
self-employment (Schedule C). Your 401(k) contributions
have no bearing on this.

See IRS Publication 560 to calculate your maximum SEP
contribution.

If i was self-employed during the year 2004 and also
employed by another firm and participated in their 401K
plan. I did not max out the 401k. I am self employed right
now. Can i put 20% of the income that i made in 2004 now
into a SEP IRA that i opened in 2004 before April 15 2005?
OR If i have not put into a SEP IRA then can i not put now ?

People who have self-employment income and employees of
businesses that have established a SEP can open SEP-IRAs.
The amount that can be put into a SEP is 20% of
self-employment income or 25% of wages, limited to $41,000
for 2004. And yes, this is in addition to a 401(k).

Who can open a SEP IRA?

Can this contribution be more than the IRS limit of 14,000$
towards IRA?

Can all the amount be tax deductible ?

Can you have a SEP IRA and also be part of the company
sponsored 401k plan in the same year?

Thanks
