Maximum SEP contribution is $58,000 with optional $6,500 catch up if over 50.  How do I get Lacerte to calculate/allow the additional $6,500?

I know this sounds like stupid question, but do you have the correct date of birth in Screen 1?

Off the top of my head, SEP IRA's don't get the catch-up.  SARSEP, 401(K), 403(b) do.  No research here.  Look into it

I come here for kudos and IRonMaN's jokes.

"Contributions an employer can make to an employee's SEP-IRA cannot exceed the lesser of:

  1. 25% of the employee's compensation, or
  2. $61,000 for 2022 ($58,000 for 2021 and $57,000 for 2020)

Note: Elective salary deferrals and catch-up contributions are not permitted in SEP plans."

Thanks y'all. Took me a bit to get back here. I kept getting error messages.
