The definition of a "disqualified person" (Internal Revenue Code Section 4975(e)(2)) extends into a variety of related party scenarios, but generally includes the IRA holder or solo 401k plan participant, any ancestors or lineal descendants of the solo 401k plan participant, and entities in which the solo 401k plan participant holds a controlling equity or management interest.
