If you’re self-employed and want to put more money away for retirement, the Solo 401(k) is one of the most powerful tools available, but the rules and deadlines matter.

In this live webinar, Mat Sorensen will walk through the Solo 401(k) basics, including who qualifies, how it’s set up, and the special strategies that make it so effective compared to IRAs and SEP IRAs. He’ll also cover the key 2025 contribution limits and deadlines you need to understand before the 2026 tax filing season.

We’ll cover:
- What a Solo 401(k) is and how it differs from IRAs, SEP IRAs, and traditional employer 401(k)s
- Who qualifies (and who doesn’t)
- How a Solo 401(k) is set up and what has to be in place to maximize contributions
- 2025/2026 contribution limits, including employee vs. employer contributions and how they’re calculated
