I have a W-2 from my employer and a 1099 from side jobs. I was told I can have a solo 401K separate from my employer-sponsored 401K, with contributions calculated based on my 1099 income, potentially up to $59K. Can someone clarify if I misunderstood this, especially regarding the contribution limits when working for more than one employer?

I have remodeled an existing business and added a paved driveway, replacing a crushed gravel one. I need to reduce my adjusted gross income. Can this be a one-time expense, or do I have to add it to the cost of the remodel? Should I depreciate the expenses or deduct them all in the same year? Is labor for repairs/remodeling considered part of the project for depreciation or a separate business expense? Can depreciation be heavier in the early years or on a shortened depreciation schedule? How is the value of the property determined for tax purposes?
