Form 5330 for Late Deposit of Deferrals
Tuesdays with Derrin and Steve

It’s bad enough that a plan must compute and deposit lost earnings when an employer is late in depositing elective deferrals. But the employer must also prepare and file Form 5330 to report a prohibited transaction penalty tax. The tax itself is frequently less than the time and trouble spent completing the form.

This one-hour program explores the details of 5330 preparation for late deposits, including interest rates, timing, and computations.

Topics include:

• Filing deadlines
• Computation of amount involved
• Interest rate (not DOL calculator)
• Continuous transaction issues
• Computations involving multi-year transactions
• Effect of principal payment without depositing earnings
• $100 de minimis rule?
• Consequences of failure to file
• PTIN requirements

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites or advance preparation for this program. However, the instructor assumes participants understand the basic mechanics of correcting late deposit of elective deferrals.
