[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12:04/13:21 - I should say these numbers are approximate, as the calculation includes a few nuances. Page 9 of fidelity's "contribution worksheet" shows the calculation you would use to determine your max.

Also - this won't help you for 2013, as I believe it had to be opened by the end of the year. It will help you going forward. First thing to do is apply to the IRS for an FEIN, you can just use your name. Once the FEIN is issued, use that to open the 401k and have your client use that rather than your SS.[/quote]

Thanks - yes this would be for my 2014 tax year.

Is there any type of "phase out" associated with this? I.e., DH and I file jointly,  his income is in the $275 range.  Mine would be an additional $40-50K.  
I should also add that he takes advantage of Catch-up contributions so is currently deferring about $23K per year.

OP here - I just realized that 12;31 already answered this. thanks.[/quote]

There is no phase out, it is similar to a retirement plan if you were an employee, no consideration for your spouse. The only caveat (which doesn't apply to your situation) is the deferral amount (17,500) is shared between all 401k accounts, so if you also were an employee somewhere with a plan you would have to manage salary deferral between the two.

The individual 401k would also allow you to make catchup deferral contributions if you are old enough and so inclined.[/quote]
