Guest PJTEN Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I have a client who failed to remit employee contributions timely and instead of paying the hefty excise tax reported on Form 5330, I was hoping to file them under the VFCP provided by the DOL. However, one of the requirements is that a Notice to Interested Parties be provided to plan participants. The DOL does not give a model notice and nobody else I have contacted has ever seen one. Is this similar to the IRS Notice To Interested Parties when filing for a determination letter? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXPLAIN HOW CORRECTED – For example: (THE COMPANY) used the VFC Program on-line calculator to calculate the amount of lost earnings due to the affected participants for its fiduciary breach.
