Although 2001 is well under way, it's not too late for 2000 tax planning. You can contribute to a simplified employee pension, or SEP, plan and take a deduction for last year if your income qualifies.

Business owners can create a SEP. So can self-employed people. A SEP can shelter income you earned outside of your regular job, like from consulting.

You can contribute to an existing SEP or create a new one. Either way,

you can put in money until the due date of your tax return, including extensions, and take a 2000 deduction.

As their name suggests, SEPs are simple. To set one up, you merely fill out a brief form. Unlike Keogh plans, for example, with a SEP you don't have to file a separate form each year with the IRS.
