employed 401(k) is a qualified retirement plan for a small business where the only employees are the owner(s) of the business and/ or the spouse(s) of the owner(s) if they work for the business. You shouldn't use this plan if you have any other employees.
Solo 401k plans are not typically classified as standard ERISA plans, because these plans are for business owners only. Solo 401k plans don't include non-owner employees, so there are certain titles of ERISA that don't apply to the Solo 401k.
Common types of employer-sponsored retirement accounts that fall under ERISA include 401(k) plans, pensions, deferred-compensation plans, and profit-sharing plans. In addition, ERISA laws don't apply to simplified employee pension (SEP) IRAs or other IRAs.
Four retirement plan options for self-employed people include SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, Solo 401(k)s, and Solo Roth 401(k)s.
A defined benefit plan is a good option if you're self-employed or a small business owner; have consistent, high income; and want to save a lot for retirement on an ongoing basis. It functions like a pension plan for the self-employed and features much higher contribution limits than other retirement plans.
ERISA Does Not Apply to Solo 401k Plans and IRAs However, ERISA does not cover IRAs or owner-only plans such as solo 401k plans.
To know if you're part of an ERISA plan, simply ask your employer. They can confirm if your plan is self-funded under ERISA or regulated by state law through an HMO or insurance company.
There are five main choices for the self-employed or small-business owners: an IRA (traditional or Roth), a Solo 401(k), a SEP IRA, a SIMPLE IRA or a defined benefit plan.
If you are at full retirement age or older, you can get all your Social Security benefits whether you retire from your business or not. When you work for someone else, it is easy to determine whether you are “retired.” Your paycheck tells the whole story.
