Keogh Plan

Plan Types

A tax-deferred retirement plan for self-employed individuals and unincorporated businesses, named after the congressman who sponsored the original legislation. While the term is still used, Keogh plans are now treated the same as other qualified plans under the tax code. Most self-employed individuals today use SEP IRAs or Solo 401(k)s instead due to simpler administration.
