Question: Sole Proprietorship in 2011 that became an S Corp in the same year. S Corp return has been filed and 1040 has not. In 2011 reporting both Schedule C and S Corp income on the 1040.
SEP IRA (one employee/participant); made 2011 contributions into the SEP account from personal funds and not from the S Corp. Based on Schedule C income, over contributed approximately $8,000 in 2011. Trying to determine if the S Corp can claim the contributions even though they were not paid from the S Corp? If not, can the over contributed amount in 2011 be carryforward to 2012 contributions and will a penalty be imposed?
