thepensionmaven Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 We set up a DB plan for a sole proprietor who is on extension for 2023.

I have not run across this question in years, I doubt this can be done without raising a red flag to IRS and am looking for a cite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
