A separate IRA account established and maintained within an employer's qualified retirement plan (like a 401(k)) that follows standard IRA rules rather than the plan's rules. Deemed IRAs allow employees to make additional voluntary contributions that may exceed plan limits, though this feature is not common in most plans.
