Deferral Deposits: Deadlines, Corrections & Forms 5500/5330
Presentor: Kevin Burch Recorded Date: 4/23/2013 Duration: 100 Min.

Description
This program was recorded during a live presentation on April 16, 2013.

Late deposits of elective deferrals (and loan repayments) continue to be a major focus for the DOL. It is imperative that practitioners understand the rules completely so that they may carefully communicate the requirements to their clients. For those clients who make late deposits (and there are many), it is important that practitioners understand how to correct the late deposits, calculate the earnings, report on the Form 5500, and calculate the excise tax for the Form 5330.

This web seminar explains the requirements regarding the deadlines for depositing deferrals with the plan. The speaker will also look at correcting late deposits, computing the penalty taxes (Form 5330), responding to DOL correspondence, and reporting on Form 5500.

Topics include:

  • Fiduciary responsibility
    • Duties
    • Alternatives
    • Pitfalls
    • Strategies
  • Safe harbor for deferrals
    • General standard
