Is this plan covered under PBGC?


Recommended Posts

Looking into a DB plan. Owner, spouse and an employee.

Owner is a financial advisor and has CLU, ChFC credentials.

I just cannot locate where it says covered/not covered. I remember reading something about this being an issue a few years back.

If you have any thoughts/references, would appreciate if you could share.

Thank you

Hi all

Read this, not 100% clear. I checked other resources as well. Looks like it can be however, PBGC may think otherwise so this is a situation where to apply to a determination under PBGC, agree?

A question. Let's says PBGC provides an official reply stating not a professional and the client takes 25% deduction under the DC plan. Gets audited by the IRS and IRS says, it is a professional. Who prevails here as IRS may demand deductions to be adjusted?

Thank you

Not sure how the IRS could make that argument.  What authority would they use to support it?

What he is trying to say is that you are being paranoid.

I would request PBGC make a determination.

If PBGC says not professional services and plan is covered then the plan is PBGC covered regardless of what IRS might think.
