If you set up a SEP plan, all eligible employees must be given the following
information:
- a copy of Form
5305-SEP (assuming that you use 5305-SEP)
- a statement that IRAs other than the IRAs into which employer SEP
contributions will be made may provide different rates of return and
different terms concerning, among other things, transfers and withdrawals of
funds from the IRAs
- a statement that, in addition to the information provided to an employee
at the time the employee becomes eligible to participate, the SEP
administrator must furnish each participant within 30 days of the effective
date of any amendment to the SEP a copy of the amendment and a written
explanation of its effects
- a statement that the administrator will give written notification to each
participant of any employer contributions made under the SEP to that
participant's IRA by the later of January 31 of the year following the year
for which a contribution is made or 30 days after the contribution is made
