Absolutely not. Nobody is required by law to have a 401k. However, it is always a good idea to be saving for retirement and that is exactly what a 401k will help you do.
Yes, if your self employed you are responsible for a retirement fund. If no 401k account is created, and you remain self employed you will only have what cash you have in the bank to live on.
A 401k Plan generally is offered to employees by their employer. If you are self-employed, you may start a 401k or other retirement plan.
First to qualify you must be a small business owner, a small business co-owner or spouse or either one. Decide what company to obtain your 401k plan from: Fidelity, Merill Lynch, Vanguard etc.Decide how much you wish to contribute to your 401k account.Speak with financial advisory if neccisary.
The main difference between a traditional IRA and a 401K plan is in how they are obtained. A traditional IRA can only be obtained privately through your investment company or lending institution. A 401K plan is typically obtained through your employer; however, since 2002, self-employed individuals are allowed to obtain individual 401K plans.
If you are still employed by the company that sponsors your 401k plan then you will not be eligible to cash out of the plan. Instead, you can see if your plan offers either a 401k plan loan, or a 401k plan hardship withdrawal (not all 401k plans allow hardship withdrawals so you need to ask your plan administrator if your plan has this feature.)If you are no longer employed by the company that sponsors your 401k plan, then you are eligible to get your money out of your 401k plan. You can cash out of the plan, or rollover your 401k plan balance to an IRA. If you choose to rollover your 401k plan instead of cashing out, then you will not have to pay taxes or penalty taxes: rollovers to IRAs are not taxable transactions if you do them the right way.
