Guest mcguzzetta Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 On Line 1 do I include distributions in-kind of mutual fund rollovers? i.e. Aim Mutual Funds rolled over from employer's profit sharing plan to terminated participant's IRA? The form instructions refer to not reporting "marketable securities" as defined by Section 731©(2). .??
Harwood Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Mutual funds [interests in "a regulated investment company"] fall under the 731©(2) exclusion. Therefore, the 5500 Preparer's Manual says that for Schedule R, line 1, you ignore "stocks, mutual funds, etc." Two notes: 1. In 1999: "Line 1. Enter the total value of all distributions made during the year (regardless of when the distribution began) in any form other than cash, annuity contracts issued by an insurance company, or publicly traded employer securities." Starting in 2000: "Line 1. Enter the total value of all distributions made during the year (regardless of when the distribution began) in any form other than cash, annuity contracts issued by an insurance company, distribution of life insurance contracts, marketable securities, within the meaning of Code section 731©(2), or plan loan offset amounts." 2. Why do the instructions have 731©(2) instead of 731©(2)?
Guest KristinaGK Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 Bad proofreading day. Why do the instructions for the 5558 lack a street address for filing?
Harwood Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 I guess you don't need a street adress when you have a unique 9 digit zip code.
Guest KristinaGK Posted August 21, 2003 Posted August 21, 2003 You need a street address if you have someone other than the US Postal Service deliver the 5558!
Brian Gallagher Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 Generally, non-Post Office carriers won't deliver to a PO Box. However, the Service Center in Ogden isn't a PO Box, it's an actual building. Having that unique 9-digit ZIP should be sufficient. [speaking of proofreading, did you know that ZIP should be capitalized (from Manual of Style and Usage by The New York TImes)? Also, ZIP stands for something--does anyone know?] Remember: two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

Brian Gallagher Posted September 5, 2003 Posted September 5, 2003 You are correct! Remember: two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
