Transcript text: True or False: A SIMPLE IRA allows the employer to contribute up to $25 \%$ of earnings into your IRA account.
Solution
The answer is False.
Explanation:
A SIMPLE IRA (Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees Individual Retirement Account) allows employers to make contributions to their employees' retirement savings. However, the contribution limits are not up to 25% of earnings. Instead, employers can either:
Match employee contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of the employee's compensation, or
Make a non-elective contribution of 2% of the employee's compensation, regardless of whether the employee contributes.
Therefore, the statement that a SIMPLE IRA allows the employer to contribute up to 25% of earnings into your IRA account is incorrect.
