Keogh 5500 extension

[Guest Nautical]

One of my friends has a Keogh plan (only one employee). What form can he use to get an extension for filing, a 5558? Could he than file on 10/15/2004?

If the employer has an extension on the employer's federal income tax return, the 5500 deadline is generally automatically extended until the income tax filing deadline. If not, then you are correct, a 5558 should be filed prior to the 5500 due date.
