Can I create a Solo 401k in my sole proprietorship and roll the sep from the other company into it?




http://www.isolo401k.com/

BACKGROUND: I have a SEP in one company (XYZ, Inc.) with two employees
I also have another company (ABC Comp) that was a Limited partnership, but is now a sole proprietorship.

QUESTION: Can I create a Solo 401k in my sole proprietorship and roll the SEP IRA from the other company into it?

ANSWER: First, in order to open a solo 401k, you cannot have any full-time W-2 employees in any of your businesses. See following page regarding the controlled group rules. http://www.mysolo401k.net/solo-401k-controlled-group.html
Only if the above is satisfied may you open a solo 401k and then transfer your SEP IRA into it.

Thanks,
John in Virginia
