Tax Documents

Required tax documents and filings vary by plan type. If you do not see a tax document in the tax documents section of the Carry website (you can access this by clicking your initials on the top right > Documents > Tax Documents), and you have not self-prepared the form, it is likely it is either not required or is not yet due.

Solo 401k documents are ultimately your responsibility, as the business owner / Plan Administrator, but Carry will send reminders and offer assistance if requested.

The list of documents below is provided for educational purposes only, is not exhaustive, and should not be taken as tax advice. We recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional if you have any questions.
