Per the IRS website, click here, the 401(k) limits are:
Contribution limits in a one-participant 401(k) planThe business owner wears two hats in a 401(k) plan: employee and employer. Contributions can be made to the plan in both capacities. The owner can contribute both:
· Elective deferrals up to 100% of compensation (“earned income” in the case of a self-employed individual) up to the annual contribution limit:
o $18,000 in 2016 and 2017, or $24,000 in 2016 and 2017 if age 50 or over; plus
· Employer non-elective contributions up to:
o 25% of compensation as defined by the plan, or
o for self-employed individuals, see discussion below
If you’ve exceeded the limit for elective deferrals in your 401(k) plan, find out how to correct this mistake.
Total contributions to a participant’s account, not counting catch-up contributions for those age 50 and over, cannot exceed $54,000 (for 2017; $53,000 for 2016)
Generally the retirement contribution is made by the due date of the tax return.
