DB Plan with separate income for partner?


Recommended Posts

Thanks in advance for any feedback. This is a multi-part question about setting up a DB plan with unrelated business income.
 
50/50 partner with his son in an accounting firm gets unrelated income paid directly to him on a 1099-R. Let's say from serving on a Board of Directors.
 
The Accounting firm has rank-and-file employees and a 401(k) plan that the partners maximize.
 
1) Can the senior partner set up a Defined Benefit plan using only the 1099-R income or is that precluded by controlled group rules?
 
2) If precluded, can the senior partner lower his ownership percentage or even give up ownership to be able to set up that DB plan?
 
3) If so, are there a number of years that need to go by of not being a partner (or less than 50% partner)?
 
4) Do ownership attribution rules apply here with the father/son partners?
