Guest donmartin Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 re: 401k loan for self-employed person. Client is self-employed (he uses an S corp. where he is sole employee and 100% share holder). He wants to start a 401k plan and fund it by rolling over his IRA into the 401k plan. Will he be allowed to borrow up to $50,000 from the plan at 50% of his vested balance? Years ago I read that this is not allowed for self-employed people and I'm unable to find what the current rule is. Do the no cost boilerplate template plans provided by retail Broker-Dealer Custodians allow this or will client need to use a custom built plan?
Jim Chad Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Under current law this is not a problem. You do not need a Individually designed plan. Any prototype or volume submitter that allows loans will probably be fine. I have never seen one that allowed loans that would not work. Has anyone else?

K2retire Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Absolutely right. Ours are so well hidden that our own staff (including me) doesn't know how much they are. But to answer the original question -- some include loans others don't. You'll have to ask the specific provider.
