New Ways to Avoid Late Filing Penalties
Presentor: S. Derrin Watson Recorded Date: 6/19/2014 Duration: 60 Min.

Description
This program was recorded during a live presentation given on June 19, 2014 at 12:00PM EST.
*******************************************************************************

The IRS has released two new procedures to avoid paying IRS penalties for late 5500 filing. There are several pieces of good news in these programs: They are free (for now), they don’t depend on reasonable cause; and they also resolve penalties for late filing Form 8955-SSA. But there’s bad news too: There are new forms to complete and file, even for plans who thought they had resolved their late filing problems years ago.

Join us for a fast presentation to learn about these new procedures, what they require, and how they can help.

Topics include:

  • Review of DOL Delinquent Filer Program (DFVC)
  • 8955-SSA filing requirements
  • Effect of extensions on late filing
  • New IRS rules to correct late filing of Forms 5500 and 5500-SF
  • New pilot program to correct late filing of Form 5500-EZ
  • Deadlines to qualify for relief

 

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites or other advanced preparation for this program.

Level: Intermediate.
