0:21.7 | Today on the Your Money Your Wealth podcast, it's a mixed bag of questions on everything from solo 401k |
0:26.7 | contributions and inherited IRAs to house buying strategies to the fan favorite ripping on annuities |
0:33.0 | and there's a healthy dose of Roth conversion planning thrown in the middle, of course. |
0:43.0 | I'm producer Andy Last and here with 12 I don't knows, four don't do it, three good ideas, and a little TMI are the hosts of your money, your wealth, Joe Anderson CFP, and Big Alclopine |
0:49.4 | CPA. |
0:51.0 | We got Dan, he writes in from San Diego on the maximum solo 401 contributions of 63,500, |
0:58.1 | will that include spouse's contributions in any other IRA such as Sep or Simples. In other words, |
1:04.7 | should an aggregate check be done? So, all right, well, Solo 401K is basically a 401 plan for self-employed individuals. |
1:14.2 | Looks like Dan is self-employed. And he probably has his wife on the payroll. So the 63-500, |
1:21.0 | can you break that down? Sure. Yeah. So, well, first of all, an employee can put in 19,500 into 401k plan. And if you're, if the |
1:31.9 | employee is 50 and older, there's a $6,500 catch up. So that gets to 26,000. Now, when you're |

1:43.3 | profits without regard to the, to the 401K. So that's how you get to this |
1:49.0 | 63,500 because the maximum for self-employed, now we're talking employee and employer, because |
1:56.0 | remember you're both when you're self-employed. So it's $57,000 for 2020 and then $6,500 for the catch-up. So |
2:03.6 | $63.5. So that's where that number comes from in the first place. You have to have a lot of |
2:08.6 | income, Joe, to be able to put that much in. But assuming that you do, because he referenced |
2:13.5 | 63-5, Dan did, let's say, well, assume he's over 50. So that would mean he could put in |
2:19.3 | $26,000 of his own and then he'd have to have quite a bit, you know, 25% of the difference |
2:25.3 | close to $40,000. So it'd have to be a lot of profit to be able to do that. But I will say |
