Submitted by Vickie Intriago on Wed, 2023-04-19 19:54

Client has a S- Corp. She has no employees. She has SEP but has not contributed in 2022.

CAn she open and fund a SOLO Individual 401k for 2022 and fund the maximum amount of $27,000 since she is over 50?

Or, is it too late to fund the SOLO in 2023?

Thanks!!!!!
