For some time now (both before and after the shutdown), I have had technical difficulties getting an EIN issued online. Roughly nine times out of ten I will get the message "Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) online is currently unavailable We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please refresh your browser or try again later." The most frustrating part is that you have to complete the entire application process before getting this message. The few times a number was issued, it just seemed random. I have tried deleting cookies, using different browsers, and applying at different times of the day. Are any of you having similar difficulties? Do you have other suggestions or insights that could help? My thanks in advance for any ideas.

Are there other employees eligible for the plan?

The 402(g) limit is for an individual. You total all salary deferrals to all 401(k) plans. The 415 limit applies to the plans of each employer/sponsor separately.

26 U.S. Code § 3405 - Special rules for pensions, annuities, and certain other deferred income (c)Eligible rollover distributions (1)In general In the case of any designated distribution which is an eligible rollover distribution— (A)subsections (a) and (b) shall not apply, and (B)the payor of such distribution shall withhold from such distribution an amount equal to 20 percent of such distribution. (2)Exception Paragraph (1)(B) shall not apply to any distribution if the distributee elects under section 401(a)(31)(A) to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan. (3)Eligible rollover distribution For purposes of this subsection, the term “eligible rollover distribution” has the meaning given such term by section 402(f)(2)(A).

Is it inappropriate to share the name of the "large, well respected software provider" on a forum like this?

I appreciate the comments. These are the same points that concerned me, and I am glad to be in good company.

Following is an excerpt from an online article prepared by a law firm. Although it is outdated, I can confirm that they are still taking this position. I understand it for sole-proprietors but not for others. Have I missed something? I appreciate the exepertise represented on this forum. "Both employee [emphasis added] and employer contributions can be made up until the company’s tax return deadline including extensions. If you have a sole proprietorship (e.g. single-member LLC or schedule C income) or C-Corporation, then the company tax return deadline is April 18th, 2022. If you have an S-Corporation or partnership LLC, the deadline for 2021 contributions is March 15th, 2022. Both deadlines (March 15th and April 18th) to make 2021 contributions may be extended another six months by filing an extension. This is a huge benefit for those that want to make 2021 contributions but who won’t have funds until later in the year to do so. While employee [emphasis added] and employer contributions may be extended until the company tax return deadline, you will typically need to file a W-2 for your wages (e.g. an S-Corporation) by January 31st, 2022. The W-2 will include your wage income and any deduction for employee [emphasis added] retirement plan contributions will be reduced on the W-2 in box 12. As a result, you should make your employee [emphasis added] contributions (up to $19,500 for 2021) by January 31st, 2022 or you should at least determine the amount you plan to contribute so that you can file an accurate W-2 by January 31st, 2022. If you don’t have all or a portion of the funds you plan to contribute available by the time your W-2 is due, you can set the amount you plan to contribute to the 401(k) as an employee contribution, and will then need to make said contribution by the tax return deadline (including extensions)."

What was the liquidation date? If the timing were to work out with an extended filing due date, I would wait until the 2023 is available. If not, I don't have a great suggestion.

We are also starting to receive calls and emails from some of our clients who have received similar notices.

Inflation is affecting all of us.

If a nonowner employee is a participant at any point during the plan year, Form 5500-SF should be used.

My two cents about your two cents mirrors CuseFan's advice: file the final return for the 6/30/2022 PYE.

In past years, Form 5500-SF could be used for an owner-only situation if the return was going to be submitted electronically. That is no longer the case. Now a Form 5500-EZ is required.

Aren't total annual additions limited to 100% of wages? The $28,100 would exceed that limit.
