pmacduff Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Does anyone have any experience with the IRS program with regard to over 50 "lost participant" requests? I have some information that tells us that requests of over 50 employees will be billed at $1750 plus $0.50 per person. (Up to 49 is free.) We have a client with approximately 60 lost participants. It's hard to explain to them why the cost jumps from $0 to $1750 when they are only over by 11 participants. I know the line had to be drawn somewhere...... You must submit a preliminary letter for review prior to sending in the over 50 requests. Is it possible that the IRS reviews each case individually and, when they respond to advise if the letter is acceptable, then provide you with a fee that might be more reasonable? Any experiences/thoughts appreciated.
maverick Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 Just thought I'd throw this out -- how about sending half the letters now and half later? Under 50 = no fee.
pmacduff Posted September 21, 2005 Author Posted September 21, 2005 that's actually what we're going to do, I just wondered if anyone had submitted an over 50 group and what the charge turned out to be.
