I have an LLC that is an S Corp for tax purposes.  I employ my husband in the business.  We both are earning a reasonable salary through the LLC and I have set up a solo 401k that the LLC is contributing into for both of us.  Can you help me better understand the following:  1) I believe I can get a distribution of net earnings made to me by the end of the year?   What about my spouse?    2) It is also my understanding that I can contribute to the 401K in excess of the individual withholding limits for both of us?  Can you help provide more insight here?

 An LLC can contribute to a 401(k), specifically through a "Solo 401(k)" plan if the LLC is considered a single-member entity with no other employees besides the owner (or possibly their spouse), allowing them to contribute as both the employee and employer to their retirement account;. I am not sure about your question concerning distributions. This can be done anytime.

Distributions can be made to shareholders only?  Or can their spouse receive as well?  Is there a limit here?
