Here are some of the types of retirement accounts you might be eligible to use:
- 401(k).
- Solo 401(k).
- 403(b).
- 457(b).
- IRA.
- Roth IRA.
- Self-directed IRA.
- SIMPLE IRA.
In this manner, is there a 401k for self-employed?
The short answer: Yes! If you’re self-employed, have you ever wished that you could have a 401(k) plan, just like salaried employees? Well, you can. It’s called the solo 401(k), and it works just like an employer-sponsored 401(k) except it’s designed for a business with a single employee – you.
Also question is, what is a TFRA retirement account?
A TFRA is a retirement savings plan that works similarly to a Roth IRA. You pay taxes on the money going into the plan, and the growth on your money is not taxed. However, unlike a Roth, a TFRA does not have Internal Revenue Service-regulated restrictions on how or when you take money from your account.

What is the safest investment for retirement?
No investment is entirely safe, but there are five (bank savings accounts, CDs, Treasury securities, money market accounts, and fixed annuities) which are considered the safest investments you can own. Bank savings accounts and CDs are typically FDIC-insured. Treasury securities are government-backed notes.
What is the best 401k for self-employed?
Solo 401(k)
Best for: A business owner or self-employed person with no employees (except a spouse, if applicable). Contribution limit: Up to $57,000 in 2020 (plus a $6,000 catch-up contribution for those 50 or older) or 100% of earned income, whichever is less.
How much can self-employed contribute to retirement?
You can put all your net earnings from self-employment in the plan: up to $13,500 in 2021 and in 2020 ($13,000 in 2019), plus an additional $3,000 if you’re 50 or older (in 2015 – 2021), plus either a 2% fixed contribution or a 3% matching contribution.
Can I contribute 100% of my salary to my 401k?
The maximum salary deferral amount that you can contribute in 2019 to a 401(k) is the lesser of 100% of pay or $19,000. However, some 401(k) plans may limit your contributions to a lesser amount, and in such cases, IRS rules may limit the contribution for highly compensated employees.
