A question. I have emailed my CPA, he hasn't answered yet.
I'm self employed. I have a business in FL and a business in AL. Basically I'm W-2 and K-1 in both. The Florida company maxed out a SEP-IRA on me. $66k. Can I contribute to a separate traditional IRA tax deferred? Or am I maxed out?

You can contribute, the question is whether you can get a tax deduction. My hunch is you won't. Find your situation here: Tax Deductibility Limits

I don’t see how you could make a tax deductible contribution since your individual income is obviously at least $330,000 to have a $66,000 SEP contribution. May be able to backdoor a Roth though.
ETA- as pointed out below SEP balance would still count for pro-rata backdoor contributions rendering them pretty much useless. Completely forgot about it in my post.

Do sep-iras no longer count towards the pro rata rule?
I know that you k
now can do sep ira roth contributions.
But I thought if trying to do the non deductible trad ira contribution -> roth conversion that form 8606 still accounts for trad sep ira amounts therefore you get hit with the pro rata rule still.

Might want to look at some form of investment, outside of a qualified plan, that does not pay dividend or interest and concentrate on capital appreciation. All gains would unrealized until a sale occurs and be taxed at favorable capital gains rates at that time.

No they definitely count against I just completely forgot about it mid post. Good catch.

S Corp?
Might be time to look at a cash balance / defined benefit plan

I think it's that amount of 25% of the salary with a cap (I think at or around 66k)

Yes S-Corp, both are S-Corp with different ownership in either. We are happy with where we are but taxation has become a huge burden. I’m just trying to figure out how to defer as much as possible.

Cash balance would be your next step.

S Corps aren't super for retirement contributions. You have to jack your salary higher to max out, which whittles away at the benefit of the S Corp.
Yes, cash balance might be your answer. Talk to your retirement plan company about this.
