Guest mk2308 Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 How does one handle deposit overages? These overages are due to the employer sending in too much money, but from employee withholding deductions.
pmacduff Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Are these individual accounts or pooled funds? If individual - did each partcipant get the correct allocation and there was $ left over or did one or more participants get too much allocated?
Guest mk2308 Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 Individual accounts - Employer simply deposited too much deferrals. W-2 reflects the correct amount.
Lori Friedman Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 This is refreshing. Usually, we have to deal with prohibited transactions from insufficient or late deposits, not with overpayments. Unless we're talking about some huge, exhorbitant amount, I'd simply apply the overpayment to future payroll deferrals. Lori Friedman
Brian Gallagher Posted September 20, 2004 Posted September 20, 2004 I would remove any overages from the accounts (including/excluding gains/losses) and put them in a suspense account in the trust (we use the forfeiture account in absence of a suspense account). the plan would just remit fewer dollars next time, making up the balance from the removed moey. Remember: two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
