Indiv 401k Contribution Tax Question  Reply with quote  

Hi All,

I think this is correct Forum for this question which has me stumped.

I have gross revenue from my Solo S-Corp of $156k total this year

The Maximum Indiv 401k contrib I can make is $49k in 2009 which consists of $16.5k standard plus 32.5k [=Max 25% of Salary of 130k ]

If i pay myself 130k this year then my California and Fed Taxes will be very high and my Corp will make a net loss for the year [Which will pass through to me as it is an S-Corp]

From the limited research I've done , it always says i should max my 401k [which i can afford to do, by injecting a little capital in to my company to cover the delta between salary and expenses and income]

Am i right to do this ?,


Appreciate any insights you guys can give me,

Rgds,

N

Thanks coaster,

Its actually an Individual 401k [ Called solo 401k sometimes) which allows you to depoasit up to 25% of W2 Earnings plus 16.5k 401k Contribution up to max $49k per year.

I'm essentially just trying to evaluate whats most tax beneficial

Rgds,
