Actually if the partnership has only partners (no other
employees), the solo 401(k) works, too.

This is possible only if the partnership sets up the plan.

If the income is from a partnership as guaranteed payment
the plan would need to be set up at the partnership level.
It would need to meet the coverage, discrimination & ADP
tests at the partnership level. Plan contributions made
by the partnership would be passed through as a separate
line item on the schedule K-1, and would end up on the
Keogh deduction line of the 1040.

No, it's not. Solo 401(k)s are for one-owner businesses with
no employees. A partnership is, by definition, a business
with more than one owner.

The partnership must set up the plan. You cannot do it
unilaterally as a partner.

Default Using P'ship guar. pymts to set up self emp retirement?

I receive guaranteed payments from a partnership. I want to
set up a solo 401K using this self emp. income. Is this
possible? How do I show the "employer" matching
contributions? On what form?

Thanks
Cheryl
