I have a dentist who has two practices. One he is a sole proprietor and the other is a S Corp. Can he have a SEP for the sole proprietor income and then a Simple IRA for his corporation? The publications say that the corporation can't have another established plan, but does that include the

owner or employees?

No can do if the 2 businesses comprise a controlled group or an affiliated service group, which are described at 414(b), (c), and (m). So if dentist is 100% owner of both businesses, that's a controlled group. A SIMPLE Ira sponsored by either of the businesses would need to cover eligible employees of the other business and would also have to be the only plan sponsored by the controlled group. A SEP Ira sponsored by either business would need to cover employees of the other business.
