BG5150 Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I have a one-participant plan that had $90k at the end of '05. However, the owner made a $42k contribution in March for the '05 plan year. Does that put me over the threshold to file an EZ? The instructions aren't very clear on that. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
Bird Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 The regular 5500 instructions are pretty clear that you can file on a cash, accrued or modified accrued basis and while the EZ doesn't say anything about it - to my recollection - I've always figured excluding the accrued contribution was ok. We'll generally file an EZ in this situation anyway, just because we do everything else including the accrual and it's easier to be consistent, but it's there for an "out" when needed, and I think it's legit.
