I understand the deferral contribution deadline for C-corp is 12/31; for sole-proprietor and partners, deadline is due date of tax return. When is the deadline for deferral "contribution" for S-corp?

No, it is not. Also, all the other shareholders are different individuals. -

A DB plans has a minimum required contribution, but plan sponsor has no income (Sch C). This is a owner only (1 person) with no employee. What are the options? If the SB shows funding deficiency, is there an excise tax?

Document vs Implementation
retbenser replied to retbenser's topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
Thanks. But is it not the case that the Plan Document must state who is participating (the 40%) and who is not (the 60%)? -
Document vs Implementation
retbenser posted a topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
A DB plan covers 40% of eligible participants (per 401(a)(26). The plan is combined with a DC plan for nondiscrimination testing purposes. However, the DB plan document does not reflect the fact not every one is benefiting (i.e., only 40% are accruing). This problem occurs for current and prior plan years. Question: To amend the plan, does the plan sponsor have to go through VCP? Or can sponsor amendment without IRS submission? Thanks for all responses. -
Overfunded plan and excise tax
retbenser replied to retbenser's topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
Yes -- I am comparing the assets to the PV of 415 limits. In the situation I described, the owner (employer) died and the asset is rolled directly to the child's inherited IRA. My question is: is there a "reversion" of asset to the "employer"? If not, do we conclude there is no 50% excise tax? Thanks. -
Overfunded plan and excise tax
retbenser replied to retbenser's topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
I am talking about the 50% excise tax on reversion on assets. When there is a reversion of excess assets to the employer, there is an excise tax of 50% on the excess assets. In the situation above (where the owner died and the assets rolled directly over to the child's IRA), is there an excise tax (50%)? Is there a "reversion" of asset? Thanks. -
JBEA Renewal

Got my renewal response yesterday, May 28. -
Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses. Here is how I look at the 401(a)(4) issue: The plan cannot pass the ABPT since the ABP% is less than 70%. This happens because the mother has low pay while maximizing her 401(k) deferral. To pass the 401(a)(4), both rate group must therefore pass the 70% ratio test; thereby bypassing the ABPT option. Since the NHCE has accrual rate (normal and mvar) equal or greater than both the HCEs, the ratio test for both rate groups exceed 70%. So 401(a)(4) passes. What about 410(b)? How do you show 401(b) compliance? Do you use the same analysis as above? Thanks.

Thanks. To expand the situation further, given a combined DB/DC plan. Owner and mother in DB. Owner and NHCE in DC Here are the "aggregate" NAR (with and wihtout 401(k) deferral). Owner: 10% (without deferral) 15% (with deferral) Mother: 12% (without) 40% (with) NHCE: 12% (without) 12% (with) Question: does the combined plan pass 410(b)? Thanks for all responses.

There are 3 participants in a DB plan: (1) Owner, (2) mother of owner, and (3) one employee 401(a)(26) requires the plan to benefit the greater of 40% or 2 employees. Question: Can the 2 employees be the Owner and his mother? Question: Is there any farmily attribution problem here? Thanks for all responses.

Plan assets and cash value
retbenser posted a topic in Defined Benefit Plans, Including Cash Balance
Do you include life insurance cash value (or cash surrender value) as assets in Form 5500 (e.g. Line 7 of Form 5500-SF)? Thanks for all responses. -
Can a CLU or ChFC who assist a plan sponsor on qualified plan contribution and tax-deductibility issues be considered an "Unenrolled Return Preparer" who can act as representative under Form 2848? Thanks for all responses .
