FAQ

There are a number of ways to use existing retirement-savings vehicles to save without an employer, including a solo 401(k), a spousal individual retirement account (IRA), and a health savings account (HSA).

Under Maryland law, most Maryland employers are now required to offer their employees access to retirement savings.

To qualify for a Solo 401(k), you must be self-employed or own a small business with no employees other than a spouse. But you don't need to be a full-time freelancer or business owner to qualify. You can own a Solo 401(k) even with part-time self-employment income, provided that other eligibility requirements are met.

You can open a self-managed IRA account as either a Roth, traditional or SEP IRA, with the latter applying to self-employed individuals or small business owners. Determining which IRA is best for your unique situation depends on your age, income and financial goals.

Generally, no. 401k are employer sponsored plans. The exception is the so-called solo 401k, which you can open if you are self employed (and report the income to the IRS, etc.) IRAs are individually driven, and you can open an IRA without an employer. However, they require earned income.

Individuals cannot open a 401(k) unless their employer offers one; however, if you are self-employed or own a business, you can open other plans, such as a solo 401(k) retirement plan, a SIMPLE IRA, or a simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA. Bureau of Labor Statistics. "Employee Benefits." Bureau of Labor Statistics.

You are required to have an EIN to open a Solo 401(k) plan. Choose a provider: Research and select a financial institution or provider that offers Solo 401(k) plans. This can be a bank, brokerage firm, or a specialized retirement plan provider.

Current rule: As of June 30, 2022, California requires employers with five or more employees, to offer a retirement savings plan. Plan details: Employers may choose an independent retirement plan administrator, or participate in California's state-run plan. You can read more in our guide to the Calsavers mandate.
