20/20 Money Episode # 98 – Implementing a SoloK as an Optometrist?

September 21, 2020

The Solo 401(k) is a viable option for independently contracted, 1099 compensated optometrists. It has many of the same benefits and options that a “normal” 401(k) has but without many of the testing and compliance requirements. However, they are not without their own limitations. In this episode, I share what optometrists need to know about when and whether a Solo/Individual 401(k) is a viable retirement planning vehicle to consider. For more information, visit the IRS.gov Solo 401k website.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. You can also visit this page to set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help ODs around the country reduce their tax bill, manage cash flow, and make proactive money decisions.
