I am a sole proprietor and considering adding to my Solo 401k this year.  Am I able to deduct my contribution on my schedule C to avoid Federal, FICA, and state tax?

    You can contribute as both employer and employee, offering tax-deductible contributions as the employer and pretax elective deferral contributions as the employee, along with tax-deferred growth potential on contributions.  

    Solo 401(k) contributions are subject to FICA and FUTA tax.
