Can a taxpayer deduct a defined benefit contribution (i.e. cash balance plan contribution) when he or she suffered a self-employment loss, not earnings in a given year?  I know a qualified plan contribution up to $56k can be deductible for 2019 required a taxpayer to have net self-employment earnings

Any help will be appreciated!

Theoretically yes. Has the actuary calculated it with all the facts, including the current year loss?

The more I know the more I don’t know.
