solo 401K contribution for 2015

I have a schedule C income of 100,000

Is it correct that I can open a 2015 solo 401K account now and contribute and deduct the following for 2015 now:

elective deferral 18,000
catch up (63 years old) 6,000

profit 100,000
1/2 se tax -7,065

92,935
X 20% 18,587

Total contribution 42,587

Would the entire 42,587 go into a single solo 401K account?

Are there any tax or other filings for a solo 401K plan?

Thank you for your kind assistance

Mike



No, your solo K must have been established by 12/31/2015 including document preparation. You still have time to open a SEP IRA however, but your contributions will be far less.



Thank you but for next year (2016)  if I open the account before 12/31/16   is the  42,587 contribution and deduction as calculated above correct?Thank you



Yes, the figure is correct. There are no plan filings until the balance reaches 250k. The contribution can be made to a single solo K account.
