Debit Card for Solo 401k and In-Plan Roth solo 401k Conversion



http://www.isolo401k.com/

Q 1.  Is it OK to use a Debit card with the solo 401K?

ANSWER: While a debit card is allowed and a credit card is not, Fidelity does not offer a debit card for a solo 401k, but Wells Fargo does. 

Q 2.  I am planning to buy a rental property with the traditional SOLO 401K and would like to roll it over to the Roth 401K in the future.  Can I transfer half on December 31 and the other half on January 1 so that I spread the rollover taxes over 2 years?

ANSWER: Yes you can process partial in-plan roth solo 401k conversions, but they must be formally documented using an in-plan roth 401k conversion form. Also, the property being converted must be appraised prior to the conversion so the correct solo 401k conversion amount is reported on Form 1099R.  

How does the Solo 401k Owner/Participant Report the in-plan Roth conversion on his or her personal tax return?

If tax payer files Form 1040, report Roth Solo 401k conversion amount on line 16a and 16b.

If tax payer files Form 1040A, report Roth Solo 401k conversion amount on line 12a and 12b.

If tax payer files Form 1040RN, report Roth Solo 401k conversion amount on line 17a and 17b.
