A situation I haven't encountered before, and I'm wrestling with it.
Suppose you have two non-profit corporations, A and B. A sponsors a non-ERISA 403(b) plan. B sponsors a SIMPLE-IRA. They merge, mid year, to form a new non-profit corporation C, with a new EIN, etc.
Apparently A & B no longer exist, although the information I have is far from comprehensive.
These are not plans that can be merged with any other plans.
Can you, for the remainder of 2017, treat each set of employees as still "separate" and continue the plans as before, and hope that if ever audited, the IRS is reasonable and accepts this as a good faith compliance effort? Do you treat each plan as terminated as of the merger date, and just start fresh with a new plan - which is problematic at best, since the merger took place some time ago (date unknown - I only know that it was in 2017)? I'm reasonably certain that no plan termination notifications/resolutions/amendments were ever done prior to the merger. I don't yet know if deferrals/employer contributions to one or both plans have been made since the merger.
Quite a fiasco...
All thoughts appreciated!
