26-years-old with TSP, Roth, and SEP-IRA. Need Advice.  Reply with quote  

Hello Everyone,

I am 26-years of age and could use your advice. Here is my situation:

- I have a TSP and I will be contributing maximum every year.
- I have a SEP-IRA for my LLC business. I have not contributed anything yet ($0 balance).
- I have a Roth IRA. I contributed $500 this year, but later realized that my income will exceed the income limits to use the Roth IRA this year.

What is your suggestion here? Here is one idea.

- I was thinking to add $20,000 to the SEP-IRA so that it would reduce my business income by $20,000, which would then allow me to max out the Roth IRA for this year. Is that allowed and possible?
- After doing so, would I have any use for the SEP-IRA the following year, or should I transfer and combine it with the TSP? Someone told me I should combine it with the TSP then open an Individual 401k instead. Does this make any sense?

Thank you in advance.
