Do you Work for the business? Because that means you also are an Employee. There is no Owner. You might be a Shareholder-Employee, or just Shareholder and do not do any work.
There is no such thing as Nonemployee if you Work for the company. This is a very costly error; I have attached some IRS wording for you. You still have time to Correct this before year end.
"The company will be makeing all of the contributions to the SEP. I have been reading through some Q&A but can't identify what sort of expense account to set up to record these SEP contributions.
