Can I contribute more to my SEP than the $40,000 deductible amount?

Please advise.

Thank you.

Hello Connie,

The maximum contribution was increased to $41,000 for 2004 and $42,000 for 2005. Remember the maximum contribution is 25% of qualifying compensation.

Non-deductible contributions are not allowed in addition to the deductible contributions.

Good luck!
