Question about Keogh for Self Employed

[spiritrider]

You did not adopt a Keogh plan at Fidelity. You adopted their "Self-employed" 401k plan, a marketing term for a "one-participant" 401k plan.

A Keogh plan is a legacy self-employed qualified plan from the 60s. It has largely been superceded by the one-participant 401k plan over the last 15 - 20 years.

It is just that Fidelity's back office still refers to it as a Keogh plan, but it is operationally a one-participant 401k plan.

No they didn't have my EIN. I'm gathering from replies in another forum (and yours) that that is a non-issue. Thanks. As an aside, how does the IRS know that I actually did make these contributions?

Edit: I guess Fidelity will provide the IRS that info.

You’ll also account for this on Schedule 1, Part II.

Did the entity paying you even have your EIN? They may be obligated to put your individual social on the 1099. I don’t think that’s relevant from a contribution perspective. You’ll reconcile this on your Schedule C and QBI deduction. You’ll also provide your 1099 to the IRS so they can verify. I wouldn’t sweat this.

In 2020 I started a side gig for the first time paid as an independent contractor (1099-NEC). I opened a self employed profit sharing Keogh at Fidelity. I obtained an EIN for that plan. Now I'm sitting down to do my taxes and I'm confused and hoping I didn't make a big mistake. My 1099-NEC has my own personal social security number. Is it a problem that it does not have the EIN that I obtained to open the Keogh? I funded it to the max and have been trading in that account. I'm really hoping I don't have to unwind my Keogh and pay tax on the contributions or something.
