Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SIMPLE IRA and how does it work for small businesses?
A SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees) is a retirement plan designed for businesses with 100 or fewer employees. Both employers and employees can contribute, with employers required to make either matching or non-elective contributions. The plan is cost-effective and helps employees save for retirement with tax advantages.
Who is eligible to participate in a SIMPLE IRA plan?
Businesses with 100 or fewer employees who earned at least $5,000 in any two previous years are eligible to set up a SIMPLE IRA. Employees who meet the $5,000 earnings threshold can participate.
What are the contribution limits for SIMPLE IRAs in 2026?
For 2026:
Standard Employee elective deferral limit: $17,000
- Plans with 25 or fewer employees: $18,100
Catch-up contribution (age 50 – 59; 64+): $4,000
- “Super” Catch-up (age 60 – 63): $5,250
Employers must either match employee contributions up to 3% of compensation or make a 2% non-elective contribution for each eligible employee.
How does employer matching work in a SIMPLE IRA?
Employers can choose to match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of each employee’s salary or contribute 2% of each eligible employee’s salary regardless of whether the employee contributes.
What are the main benefits of a SIMPLE IRA for small business owners?
SIMPLE IRAs are easy and inexpensive to set up, require no annual IRS filing on the employer’s part, provide tax-deductible employer contributions, and help attract and retain employees with a valuable retirement benefit.
How do employees make contributions to a SIMPLE IRA?
Employees elect to have a portion of their salary automatically deducted and contributed to their SIMPLE IRA on a pre-tax basis, reducing their taxable income for the year.
What investment options are available in a SIMPLE IRA?
At IRA Club SBS, our systems integrate with iFlip, a protected AI-powered investing platform that adapts to today’s unpredictable markets, letting you and your team invest confidently without timing the market or paying high advisor fees.
Additionally, alternative investments such as real estate, private equity, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, tax liens, and private loans are permitted. IRA Club SBS is not licensed to provide investment or structuring advice or make recommendations; employees must find their own alternative investments and conduct their own due diligence. See “alternative investing” for details.
Are SIMPLE IRA contributions tax-deductible?
Employee contributions are made pre-tax, reducing taxable income. Employer contributions are also tax-deductible as a business expense.
What are the rules for withdrawing money from a SIMPLE IRA?
Withdrawals before age 59½ are subject to income tax and a 10% penalty. If withdrawn within the first two years of participation, the penalty increases to 25%.
How do I set up a SIMPLE IRA plan for my small business?
You can establish a SIMPLE IRA by completing IRS Form 5304-SIMPLE or 5305-SIMPLE. The process is straightforward, with minimal paperwork and no annual IRS filing requirement for the employer. Contact our onboarding specialist at IRA Club SBS here.
