Hello, I just came across a situation I'm struggling to navigate, would really appreciate input from more experienced folks in the forum. Scenario below: 1. Married clients own two companies in a controlled group, business "A" with W-2 employees and business "B" with only spousal employees (real estate holding company with s-corp election). Neither company offered a retirement plan. 2. Business A has been sold effective 9/1/24. If Business B were to create a solo 401k plan with a 10/1 adoption date, would controlled group rules still apply for the remainder of 2024 tax year? Thanks in advance to anybody who's willing to help me think through this puzzle! -
Group: New client is in initial stages of audit of Esop. In reviewing her businesses 2013 ESOP Plan Document I noticed there was no Adoption Agreement prepared for client at time. Or at least none the client could find. And no restated esop documents. There are corporate resolutions and an SPD. Its my understanding that the former TPA (who I'm told was a volume submitter) at the time assisted in drafting clients esop documents. I thought it would be easy to contact them but I don't believe they're still in business. It seems a little late in the proverbial game to draft an adoption agreement corresponding with the provisions of the plan document. As part of our IDR disclosure to auditor would you give copy of old ESOP Plan Document with explanation that the TPA is no longer around to obtain a copy of any adoption agreement? Thoughts and comments appreciated. -
Hello, A participant is demanding a copy of the Adoption Agreement. She was provided will all the other required notices. Here is her email response. I have researched and all parties I have spoken to state that the employer has discretionary choice to provide the Adoption Agreement. Has anyone encountered this and what was the response?

There is a multiple employer plan that has several adopting employers. One of the adopting employers has been operating under the plan without an adoption agreement since the spring of 2017. Can this be corrected with an amendment because it's still within that plan year or does it need to go through a correction program? Also, one of the adopting employers has merged into another adopting employer, does the merged plan need to sign a new participation agreement or should it be terminated?
