Max out tax advantaged accounts before Lending Club?
« on: January 19, 2015, 03:59:37 PM »
I have a SEP-IRA which the boss contributed about $7,000 to this year.

Question 1 - does this level of SEP contribution wipe out my ability to contribute to a traditional IRA?

Question 2: I have about $3k to invest currently - is there a case to be made for using a taxable Lending Club account instead of maxing out my Roth, then going to the taxable account?

If your IRA is maxed, then you can't contribute to a Roth either.  I'd look into that first.  Also, I'd recommend typical stock/bond investing over Lending Club personally.

For a taxable account, you'll want something a lot more tax efficient than Lending Club.
