I watch several RUclips videos on how to trade in the stock market but haven't made any head start because they are either talking some gibberish or sharing their story of how they made it and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands
@@Susanne-zuku Bridget Mary Turow her trading strategies is working for me for more than a year now and I’m making good profit from the stock market and she's 100% honest, reputable and trustworthy
After watching this, I feel a bit duped into getting a Roth Solo 401k. I don't have any income coming in from my small business, it's a small little thing I wanted to do with my kids. So, it almost seems like I cannot contribute to this with my W-2 money. Very confused on where I went wrong on this. I am using it for private money lending, that was pretty easy. But, I don't understand how to leverage this account to help with retirement and/or tax benefits.
Can you show me the IRS rule that says a part time under 500 hours a year employee doesn’t count as a employee for a solo 401k. That is definitely the rule for a traditional 401k that an employee under 500 hours for 3 years or the 1 year rule of 1000 hours is not eligible. Key phrase not eligible. It’s still an employee. Can you show me the IRS literature that supports this rule for a solo. I see bloggers writing about this, however I don’t see IRS literature supporting this.😮
Can solo 401K contributions come 100% from the employer to avoid FICA? For example, if wages are $100K, can the employer contribute $25K with $0 employee elective deferral? Or does the employee have to contribute?
Can income from my holding company’s subsidiary count as income from for my holding company if my holding company creates and contributes to a solo 401(k)? If not, would u recommend that the holding company charges a management fee every month to count that as “income” for contributions?
when you're talking about grossing it up for FICA, does that mean maximums are based on net payroll, not gross? what if you make less than the maxes? like say you only make $10,000 on w2 payroll...is your total max contribution from employee and employer $12,500? or can it only be $10,000 since that's all you made? or is it something else because you have to take out your FICA first and make contributions based off of net payroll income?
My company has a 457B and they recently changed it over to a 457B-Roth, so I changed the contributions to be post tax. My question is can I still have a solo 401K-Roth if I already have a 457B-Roth and an Roth-IRA?
Hi fellas, I want to rollover my SEP IRA into a SOLO 401k. I'm 70 yrs. old and have an LLC for real estate investing. I want to use the money for more real estate. How can I set up the SOLO? What do I need to do. I don't want to make any more contributions to the SOLO. Any help would be appreciated.
I have an LLC that will have employees this year... my wife has a DBA for business advantage purposes, but hers makes no income... Can she do the Solo IRA for us? If we fund it from my business?

so what would be the steps if we want to rollover a 401k from our career into a solo 401k if we don't have a business entity yet? Set up an entity, then a solo 401K? TIA!
We can help with this! Please set up a free call with our people at Directed IRA: directedira.com/appointment/ and they can help you get set up with next steps, thank you!
How do you setup a self directed 401k to rollover from a previous employer's 401k if you dont have a self employed business? I understand if you dont have a self employed business then you cant make contributions, but if you are changing jobs instead of rolling to the new employer's 401k can you rollover a previous employer's 401k to a self directed 401k? If no then what's the bare minimum you would have to do to maintain the solo 401k? Like do a little work for one of these gig economy apps once a week, like deliver for Uber/Doordash once a week?
Any side business qualifies as self-employment and there is no minimum revenue or income requirements. You could sell $100 of lemonade next weekend and that would qualifiy. From an implementation point of view, you don't even need to have sold any lemonade to open your Solo 401k. Just list yourself as a sole proprietorship (your name is business name) and create your plan documents. Once you have the documents, open a bank checking account in the name of your Solo 401k trust. This is part that is a bit of a pain, since the big banks like Bank of America don't let you setup accounts for trusts. Next, you can roll your old 401k's or IRAs into your Solo 401k if rolling cash. If you want to rollover stocks or mutual funds instead of cash, you'll need to open a brokerage account in the name of your Solo 401k's trust. I did this at Interactive brokers which was very easy as they have a trust setup option when opening an account. Some of my friends and myself opened Solo 401k's with very small businesses for the purpose of rolling retirement assets into the structure. A huge advantage of Solo 401ks is that they allow for very large contributions, but I didn't set mine up for that. I set up mine because you pay zero fees for the Solo 401k AND having self-directed investments was important to me.
With any business you should strongly consider doing an LLC or an S-Corp to protect your PERSONAL ASSETS should something happen in the course of business where you get sued......
Not really, most Solo 401k's are self-directed although some are not. For me, the benefits of a truly self-directed plan is that I can invest in anything I want and I don't need anyone else to approve my investment choice. You can open a Solo 401k through a broker like Fidelty or Schwab and take full advantage of the high contribution limits that Solo 401k's allow. The big problem is that your investment options will be limited to investments offered by the broker. If you want to invest in real estate like buying a rental property or being a limited partner in a larger real estate investment trust, you cannot do that through a broker's Solo 401k plan. I've had friends make this mistake. With a Fidelity Solo 401k, Fideltiy is the plan custodian. With a truly self-directed Solo 401k, you are the plan's custodian.
You could just work with millionaires, so I appreciate your relating to the smaller startup businsses (side hussles as you call it) because this is social ustice. The small busienss really is the bedrock of the USA and this is the kind of expertise they need to be successful. I'm so grateful.
I'm a single llc owner and would like to know for 2024 can i contribute up to $66K to a solo 401k? If so, how much of that would i be able to write off in my taxes? Only a percentage? Or the full amount?
Can't tell If I qualify and by how much. I Left employment early this year, having already maxed out FICA tax, contributed $25,700 to 401k. Wife's LLC #1 has FT employees, no retirement plan, can't do SEP IRA for her this year, as we did last 2 years. LLC#1 Income ~200k net. Wife has biz #2, solo, Maybe 100k net (before pay me) but does not have enough income in #2 to max a SEP contrib. Wife pays me consulting fee out of her solo LLC, #2 to my LLC(#3,solo), (Prepping LLC #1 for sale, so family employees, kids, shifting to LLC#2 for more accurate income statements) I can probably do a SEP based on LLC#3, up to ??? limit. I know we should income shift as much as possible to me to reduce her FICA, but what should I do for her retirement funds this year, and assuming I'll continue building her biz as a consultant, next year? (I already know I should be doing S Corp election filing, but my current accountant was too slow to get it done)
Hey! Part of the Solo(k) consultation includes discussing if you qualify. You can get an appointment with one of my attorneys by reaching out to my New Client Specialist Emily at emily.delarosa@kkoslawyers.com or giving her a call at (888) 801-0010 ext. 2065
Do you have an LLC and not an S-Corp? A good accountant would tell you how to avoid paying self-employment tax and making it an agreeable FICA paid amount on a W-2 income?
Transferring funds from a former empoyer 401k to a Solo 401k will 1) let you avoid the fees associated with the old plan and 2) Give you a much larger set of investment options than offered through employer plans.
You can absolutely have a business with a Solo 401k if you also have a W2 employment. Remember though, your annual contribution limits would apply to the combination of employemnt 401k and Solo 401k.
I opened this video to refresh my memory about the solo 401k. 20 min in and I still don't understand what a solo 401k is... You should start with a general five minute explanation for dummies about your topic and dive into a more detailed explanation. The guy on the left tends to start from the middle of the topic and keeps opening windows of new topics without closing the previous ones. He needs to work with a speaker coach to teach him story telling.
I want a solo 401k for my spouse, and just set her up without payroll. Can I just treat her as a contractor income. She help provide a service to may business
effective financial management made me rich and it is all you need if you want to build a strong financial future tomorrow. I started with 1000USD, 3 years ago I invested in a diversified stock market and fast forward to now I am worth 500000USD and am currently finishing my 8 unit apartments. I'm only 35 years old. Diversified stock investments have always proven to be very profitable, especially with the help of experts.
I have an S corp where I am 100% owner with no employees. I would like to start a solo 401k in this company. I am also 50% owner of an S Corp, the other owner (50%) is my son. In that company we do have w2 employees. Am I eligible to open a Solo401 for the company I have 100% ownership ?
Can an S-corp with no employees that has a solo 401k own a percentage of another s-corp that has a full time employee or employees without putting its Solo 401k status in jeopardy?
