Retirement plans for the self employed: Solo 401k, SEP IRA and more

The applicable IRS publication is Publication 560 (2006), Retirement Plans for Small Business. Possibilities include solo 401k plans (some providers allow a ROTH option), defined benefit plans, SEP IRAs, simple 401ks or simple IRAs.

IRAs are specifically dealt with in this publication: http://www.ris.gov/publications/p590/index.html

Some of the threads also talk about how to maximize your retirement plan contributions when you have multiple employers or have both a retirement plan through work and you also want to set up a retirement plan to shelter some of your self employment income. A separate fAQ will deal with spousal IRAs--putting aside pretax money for a non-working spouse.
