Which retirement plan should you select?

For the business owner, there are six primary tax deductible options to consider for retirement: SEP IRA; Profit   Sharing/Money Purchase Pension Plan; SIMPLE IRA/401(k); 401(k); Solo 401(k) and defined benefit plans (pension plans).  Defined Benefit Plans are common but warrant separate attention.  In some circumstances, tax-deductible contributions well over $46,000 can be made.

For the individual, the decision is much simpler.  Individual IRA’s, Roth IRA’s and Rollover IRA’s to defer taxes from employer retirement plan distributions are the most popular options.  For 2008, the maximum IRA (Individual & Roth) contribution is $5,000 with an additional $1000 for those age 50 or older.  Availability of the Roth IRA and tax deductibility of the individual IRA may be limited by your income.
