I ask construction business owners what made them start shopping for a retirement plan, and I get four answers pretty consistently. 1️⃣ Their CPA encouraged them to reduce their tax liability. 2️⃣ They live in a state that has retirement mandates. 3️⃣ They want a hiring advantage over their competitors. 4️⃣ They want to do more to help their employees. Today's fintech providers offer practical retirement solutions for blue collar businesses, many of who previously thought this type of benefit was out of reach for them. #fintech #retirementbenefits #smb #construction #bluecollar #businessowner #401k #retirement https://hubs.ly/Q02GzD_p0

How to Choose Between a SEP IRA and a Solo 401(k) In September of 2023, 16.5 million Americans are currently self-employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This constitutes for more than 10% of the workforce. SEP IRAs function as tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts, allowing self-employed individuals and small business owners and their employees to benefit from simple, tax-efficient investment vehicles akin to personal IRAs. Solo 401(k) plans, also known as individual 401(k) or one-participant 401(k) plans, are tailored specifically for self-employed individuals.

𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐬: feel like you’re missing out on some great “company sponsored” benefits? There’s a retirement plan where you can get more savings capacity, and more potential tax savings than your W-2 counterparts! 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝟒𝟎𝟏(𝐤) 💵 Here’s what it is, and who it’s for: - A Solo 401(k), or the IRS defined: “one-participant 401(k)”, is an employer sponsored retirement plan available to anyone who is self-employed or owns a business with no employees (other than your spouse). This includes sole proprietors, LLCs, S Corps, C corps, and partnerships - Pre-tax contributions to a Solo 401(k) plan are tax deductible, and a Solo 401(k) has a significantly higher contribution limit than a Traditional or Roth IRA. For 2024 the Solo 401(k) contribution limit for elective deferrals is $23,000 if you’re age 50 and under and $30,500 if you’re over 50. The TOTAL contribution limits can go as high as $𝟔𝟗,𝟎𝟎𝟎 ($𝟕𝟔,𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝟓𝟎)! - Your account in the plan can receive contributions form yourself as the employee AND from yourself as the employer (This is limited to 25% of your compensation or net self employment income). - A Roth Solo 401(k) is another available option and, unlike Roth IRAs, does NOT have an income limitation! - 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧: As mentioned earlier, these plans are not available to entrepreneurs with employees, HOWEVER, a spouse does not count! This means you could hire your spouse and effectively double the benefits available to you. - The Solo 401(k) has been maligned in the past as being difficult to setup/maintain as well as more expensive than other options like a SEP IRA plans. However, in recent years it’s become easier and easier to set up/open/maintain these plans. - Given the flexibility, potential for higher contribution limits, and Roth options make the Solo 401(k) plan the best choice for most successful entrepreneurs.

ATTN: solopreneurs/sole practitioners - "If you’re considering establishing a SIMPLE or SEP Plan, a Solo 401(k) may be a better choice. Why? Typically, the 401(k) plan offers more features, like Roth deferrals and loans, than either the SEP or the SIMPLE IRA. It may also enable you to contribute more, maximize your tax-deductible contributions, and help you meet your long-range retirement goals."https://lnkd.in/gq_T8HM6
