Retirement Accounts for Business Owners

Carry is an all-in-one retirement and investing platform for self-employed business owners. Without an employer to set up a plan on your behalf, building long-term wealth is on you — Carry makes it straightforward to open a Solo 401k, IRA, and more, all in one place.

Your S Corp structure may unlock more than you think

When you run your business as an S-Corp, your W-2 salary — the same one Lettuce sets up through payroll — is the basis for how Solo 401k contributions are calculated.

That means S-Corp owners may be able to contribute as both an employee and an employer, with a combined limit of up to $72,000 per year in 2026.

The most powerful retirement account for the self-employed⍏

If you’re self-employed, you’re potentially eligible for a Solo 401k— the most powerful retirement account in America⎏. Dollar for dollar, this beats out nearly every other retirement account in size and flexibility.

  • Tax deductions and growth up to $72K annually ($80K if over 50, $83,250 if between 60-63)
  • Access to stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, Smart Yield, Roboadvisor, and alternatives
  • Roth contribution options, including Mega Backdoor Roth conversions
  • Penalty-free loans from your plan balance, when you need it
  • EACA tax credit eligibility, earning up to $1500 in tax credits over three years

“I've put away more money in the last 2 years than the last 5 years combined”

“I’ve not only put away more money in the last 2 years via Carry than the last 5 years combined (Solo 401k FTW!), I’ve also learned so much about the tax code. As they say, the only partner you’ll have on every business is the US federal government. Learn how to optimize your share.”
