*Employers with 100 or fewer employees who earned $5000 or more during the preceding calendar year may consider a SIMPLE IRA plan.

**The term vesting refers to whether or not the money that has been set aside for you in a retirement plan is yours to keep if your employment is terminated. "Vested" benefits are those to which you have an absolute right even if you resign or are terminated.

*** IRS Form 5500 is a form that 401(k) plans use to satisfy reporting required by law. Small business IRA plans do not file IRS Form 5500. Contributions made by a business owner to a SEP or SIMPLE are claimed as a deduction by the business owner on his/her business tax returns. See IRS Publication 560.
