Solo 401k Basics
The self-directed Solo 401k (also known as Individual K or Owner-Only 401k) is the ultimate qualified retirement plan for those who work for themselves and have no full-time employees other than their spouse. Self-employed individuals can qualify regardless of their business capacity or structure (e.g. sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, corporation, independent consultant, etc.).
The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (EGTRRA), passed in 2001, stipulates how the self-employed or sole business owner can use a 401k. In particular, the act clarifies that a single qualifying participant can make contributions in the role of employee and employer.
This can lead to very high contribution limits. You may qualify for the Solo 401k if you meet two eligibility requirements:
- The presence of self-employment activity
- The absence of full-time employees

Be Your Own Trustee
Every 401k designates a trustee to hold the assets of your retirement plan. In the case of the Solo 401k, you may act as your own trustee, which gives you “checkbook control” over the assets and lets you invest as you see fit.
As the trustee of the plan, you can make investments from your 401k Trust account by simply writing a check. This makes the Solo 401k ideal for real estate and other nontraditional investments. However, as a trustee, you are prohibited from benefiting directly from the trust. You may not combine personal money with the trust or do any prohibited transactions with the trust.
