Self-employed 401k FAQ – What happens to my Solo 401k if my S-corp closes down?

QUESTION:

What happens to a Solo401K if the corporate entity closes down?  Does the solo401K continue on independently, or does it need to be liquidated?

RESPONSE:

You would need to be self-employed under another entity type such as a sole proprietorship, for example. If not, the solo 401k plan would need to be terminated.  If you are self-employed under a new entity, we would need to update the existing solo 401k plan to reflect the new entity type.  If you are no longer self-employed, the solo 401k plan would need to be transferred to an IRA and then the solo 401k plan would be closed with the IRS.
