John Bowens outlines the pros and cons of a Solo 401(k).
Solo 401(k) Eligibility Requirements
The Individual 401(k) is for incorporated and unincorporated businesses, sole proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. The only requirement for contributions to this plan is that you receive a salary or wage.
The business entity must have no additional employees other than the spouse of the proprietor-or, in the case of a partnership, the only employees must be self-employed partners and their spouses.
An Individual 401(k) plan must be the only arrangement maintained by the business that is not included as part of a controlled group under federal tax law.

I've watched several videos explaining this. And, I must admit this video was the most clear and concise video that I've seen on this topic. I really appreciate how you simplified this topic. Thank you!

This is excellent content. I’m a W-2 (no retirement from employer) and side-hustle and real estate investor trying to find something better than an IRA. Thank you!

Thank you for simplifying the SOLO 401k. IRS website was not as easy. Thank you. The last part, when you talked about the substantial and recurring contributions: If I don't make money for a particular month or two due to slow business but still contribute, will I be penalized? Or the other way around. If I don't contribute constantly every month I will be penalized. Thanks again for this video.

We're happy you found our video helpful! IRS guidelines require earned income for contributions. I would encourage you to consult with your CPA or tax professional regarding individual facts and circumstances affecting recurring contributions.

compound interest should be known by all

@gauravkhanal6122 2 года назад

Three questions: 1.For the solo 401k, in regards to the employer deferral, can that be made with pretaxed money, or is that also made with ordinary money similar to the employee contribution? 2. Can you have one company where youre the only owner and employee and open an individual 401k, and another company where you have employees and contribute to SEP IRA? So basically contribute to both without the limits being affected? 3. Can you hire contractors instead of employees to avoid some of the cons of individual 401k (aka 1099 contractors)?

Excellent information. Does I pay Social Security and Medicare on my contribution to a Solo 401K through my W2?

@kaliamama1 3 года назад

Your max includes all plans. You don’t get a max per plan.

@lasvegasadventures8729 3 года назад

Which of the following can you have together ? Solo 401K, Roth IRA, SEP IRA. Can you have all 3?

@namly9868 3 года назад

Do I lose all my money if a 401k company goes out of business? Thank you very much.

@SamDeanismyname 3 года назад

If I have W2 employees and offer them an IRA with a match, am I able to make an employer deferral beyond my own match?

What about salary employee, I have a minor work permit for my son?

@unforeseenawakening7029 3 года назад

If I open a Solo 401k this year but in a few years open a side business (retail shop) that has employees, can I still keep my solo 401k since it will be a completely different business?

@searchandverify 3 года назад

You said you can max out your 401k and IRA contributions in the same year. Is that only for the traditional and Roth IRA's or can you have a SEP IRA, solo 401k and traditional/Roth IRA maxed out in the same year? Would working for multiple entities you own help with this?

@matthewhoover6154 3 года назад

wow, and I'm sitting here thinking I can only contribute 18k per year total, didn't know that there was an employer deferral. I only have an IRA that I max out but my financial planner is telling me it'd benefit me to take advantage of contributing more to a tax deferred account rather than just putting the rest of it into a managed account with my broker after paying taxes on it. I've been doing it this way so far because I wanted the money to be accessible to me but it's at the point where I have more then enough available for whatever I need (house down payment, for example). I should now really take advantage of the tax deferral.

Do you know if you could buy a property with a solo401k with an agreement for sale?

Hello Perla, thanks for reaching out, click this link for more information! www.trustetc.com/self-directed-accounts/small-business/solo-401k/?

@indexplus 6 месяцев назад

So a couple can both open their solo 401k each but after having done that, can their minor child who makes some part time income from working for the business open a regular IRA that has nothing to do with solo 401k plan or SEP IRA?

@equitytrustcompany 6 месяцев назад

Hello, it is possible for 2 spouses working in the same business to establish a Solo 401(k) plan and both be participants of the plan. This is assuming both are declaring earned income. Passive only income would not satisfy the requirements. It would be possible for a child, who is working part-time to establish a Roth IRA with their earnings. That said, I would suggest you map all of this out with your CPA or tax planner as there are varying nuances and rules to follow with respect to Solo 401(k) plans for your business, children receiving income from your business, and minor children contributing to a Roth IRA.

I was getting excited till he said you can’t have employees

@FlaschDJ 2 года назад

I am 68 and self-employed. Learning about Solo 401k suggests the following strategy to me. Comments will be greatly appreciated. ----- Business profits + SS + IRA WDs (voluntary or RMD) push me into higher brackets. To remain in lower brackets, I’ll make MAGI-reducing contributions to a Solo 401k. 1)_Is this permissible? 2)_Is this sensible? This strategy seems to afford me fine control of my tax bracket.

I have a SEP (three years old) can I covert it and its assets to a solo 401K?

@TheTartesos 3 года назад

How much does it cost to have my solo401k with equity trust company?

@ninachan2833 2 года назад

you are confused me with 20% . First you said net income $20000 can contrib $19500 the you said 20%? please explain in detail calculation.

@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 3 года назад

Why do they limit you so hard with the ira compared to this? The ira so damn simple. I wonder why it's so limited?

@lasvegasadventures8729 3 года назад

Yea...Wouldn't that be just so simple??? Why not allow $50K per year for (Roth) IRA? Make it easy for the common folks?

@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism 3 года назад

When you hire employees you don't have to convert to a normal 401k. You can just freeze it, keep maxing out your ira while you have employees but can you UNfreeze a solo 401k if you no longer have employees so that can can just begin contributing to it again?

I am a small business owner. My wife also receives a monthly salary for helping me with marketing and other stuff. I`m considering opening up a SEP IRA as a vehicle for my stocks and index funds, am I required by the law to contribute to her SEP IRA?
