SEP IRA vs. Solo 401(k): Which Should You Choose?

February 15, 2021

Everybody wants to enjoy a comfortable, secure, carefree retirement.

But achieving this goal depends on the choices you make today.

That’s why, in this issue of the Tax Reduction Letter, we’ll help you make a very important decision…

Should you choose to open a SEP IRA,
or a Solo 401(k) retirement plan?

Both of these tax-favored retirement plans can help you build your nest egg (assuming here that you are the owner and sole worker in your business).
