Great 401k Investments: The Advantage Solo 401k

If you are a small business owner or self-employed individual without any employees other than a spouse you should consider a Solo 401(k) plan. Most investors are familiar with IRAs whether speaking of traditional or ROTH yet few are aware of another great option; the Solo 401(k).

The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 made forming and administering a Solo 401(k) easy and cost effective. You can be the Trustee of the plan. Making investments is as simple as investing with a Checkbook IRA though without the need of a custodian and with a variety of advantages…

Consider the following advantages of a Solo 401k over any IRA:

  • Can make ROTH contributions
  • Increased annual contributions
  • No UBIT on leveraged Real Estate
  • No Custodian required
  • Can invest in Life Insurance and “S” Corporation stock
  • Borrow 50% of the 401(k)’s value up to $50,000

Is there a Downside?

  • A 5500EZ needs to be filed if the total assets exceed $250,000
  • There are some administration costs
