They are the most pleasant and responsive government organization we deal with, by far!

Leave it to our clients to drive us crazy. We have attorney client who was desperate for money and withdrew over $470,000 from his plan in 2012 without consulting us. After running calculations for 2012, this left his own profit sharing account overdrawn by approximately $42,000, and left the trust with only $50,000 remaining to cover other participants' balances totaling about $92,000. We have referred him to an ERISA attorney to resolve this - we will not get involved. However, I have to prepare the 5500-SF for 2012, and I have never encountered this before. 1) I assume the transaction has to be reported on the 5500-SF somewhere, probably in line 10. Can someone please advise me where they would report this, and do I report the entire $472,9500 transaction, or just the $42,000 he is overdrawn? 2) I also assume we have to prepare a Form 5330. Same basic question - where on the form is this reported and what amount do I list? If not for the clients, we might still be sane. But we would also be broke.
