401k Contributions as a single owner of a S-Corp - How to Divide?

Dec 20, 2006 1 Replies

My wife and I own our own S-Corp and have a single 401k setup through theonline 401k. What I'm struggling with is how much I should have our corporation contribute to the



401k as opposed to use contributing? The ultimate goal is to pay the least in taxes (of course).

Our income will likely be around $70,000 this year.



I have looked for this information everywhere, so any advice on where to find it would be VERY helpful! Thanks, Jeb
