LIBERTYKID Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 The IRS is threatening to disqualify a SARSEP as a result of the violation of the 50 percent particpation rule. How is the penalty calculated for disqualification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I thought it would "just" mean that deferrals for that year must be returned; see IRS website below. It is very specific on that point. I'm not sure what happens when the are returned after 2 1/2 months though; maybe that's the question. I would think they would be telling you that, no?

Gary Lesser Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Under the EPCRS (Rev. Proc. 2008-50), the excess contributions can be distributed or retained (and it's probably not too late to use this method). Otherwise, they are just traditonal IRA "excess" contributions (and can be corrected after the due date without any problem, just a 6% tax).
