Earning income beyond your W-2 job through freelancing or consulting?

If that income flows through an LLC, a Solo 401(k) may allow for more advanced planning than a workplace plan alone.

Depending on plan design, this can include:
• Contributing as both employee and employer
• Broader investment flexibility
• Potential post-tax and Roth conversion strategies

For high earners and 1099 contractors, this can be a thoughtful way to build on what you’re already doing.

Your future self might thank your LLC.

Two investments can earn the same return and leave you with very different amounts of money. 🤔

The difference usually isn't performance. It's tax treatment.

For high earners, this matters more than most people realize. When your W-2 income is already near the top bracket and capital gains are stacking up across the portfolio, every new investment adds to the pile.

So before I add an alternative for a client, I ask how it shows up on the tax return.

Some strategies generate deductions against ordinary income. Some produce gains that can qualify for the long-term rate if you hold them long enough. Two options that look identical on a fact sheet can land very differently in April. 📊

Performance still comes first. I don't pick investments for tax reasons alone. But when two look comparable, the one that also works on the tax side earns the spot.

The goal isn't a higher headline return. It's keeping more of the return you earn.

Are your alternatives pulling their weight on the tax side? Happy to talk it through. 👇
