Legal & Financial Disclaimer

Key Points:
  • All content is educational only — not professional financial, tax, or legal advice.
  • The Solo Wealth Lab team are not CPAs, CFPs, or licensed advisors.
  • We participate in affiliate marketing programs and may earn commissions on qualifying purchases or sign-ups at no extra cost to you.
  • Always consult a licensed professional before making major financial decisions.

1. Informational Purposes Only

The content provided on Solo Wealth Lab (solowealthlab.com) — including all articles, guides, calculators, comparison tables, newsletter issues, and any other materials — is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

We strive to provide accurate, up-to-date information regarding US tax codes, Solo 401(k) contribution limits, SEP IRA rules, implications of the SECURE 2.0 Act, and broader gig economy retirement strategies. However, tax laws, IRS contribution limits, and financial regulations change frequently — often on an annual basis. What is accurate today may be outdated tomorrow.

Nothing on this website constitutes a comprehensive analysis of your personal tax situation, nor does it account for the specific facts and circumstances of your financial life.

2. Not Professional Advice

⚠️ Important: The authors, editors, and publishers of Solo Wealth Lab are not Certified Public Accountants (CPAs), Certified Financial Planners (CFPs), Enrolled Agents (EAs), or licensed legal, tax, or investment professionals.

The information on this website should not be construed as:

  • Professional financial advice tailored to your specific situation
  • Professional tax advice or guidance on how to file your IRS returns
  • Professional legal advice regarding business structure, contracts, or compliance
  • An endorsement or recommendation to buy or sell any specific investment, security, or financial product

Every individual’s financial situation is unique. Factors such as your net self-employment income, business structure (sole proprietor, LLC, S-Corp), filing status, state of residence, and retirement timeline all significantly affect the strategies that are right for you. You should always consult with a licensed CPA, CFP, or tax attorney before:

  • Opening or contributing to a Solo 401(k), SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or any other tax-advantaged retirement account
  • Making business structure changes (e.g., electing S-Corp status)
  • Filing your federal or state income tax returns
  • Making any significant financial decision based on content read on this site

The IRS website and the CFP Board’s advisor search tool are authoritative resources for finding verified, licensed professionals.

3. Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliant)

This means that if you click on certain links to financial apps, brokerages, software platforms, or services featured on this website and subsequently open an account, make a purchase, or complete a qualifying action, we may earn a referral commission at no additional cost to you.
