Contribute $55,000 to a Solo 401k in 2018
Updated: Dec 18, 2018
Imagine this. A 401k that has sky high contribution limits AND open architecture where you're not limited to a menu of high cost mutual funds and you have thousands of investment choices. Enter the Solo 401k.
In a Solo 401k, the business owner gets to contribute as the employee AND the employer. It's a pretty awesome deal. The benefit is two-fold: first, it maximizes retirement contributions and second, there are BIG tax advantages and business deductions.
Here's how it works
Self-employed individuals without employees can open a Solo 401k. Spouses and business partners can contribute as well.
Contribute as both the employer and the employee for incredible tax-deferred growth and tax deductions. The contributions limits for 2018 are:
Employee contribution: $18,500 + $6,000 if over 50.
Employer contribution: 25% of compensation
Maximum contribution limit of $55,000 + $6,000 if over 50.
Account must be opened by December 31.
Minimal record-keeping requirements, which keep the costs of this type of retirement plan near 0.
