PEO sets up a plan as a leasing organization with 25 adopting employers

[katieinny]

A company sets up a multiple employer retirement plan as a leasing organization. It gets a favorable determination letter for the plan. 25 adoption agreements are signed by 25 separate employers under the master plan.

How many 5500s are due? One for the master plan, including information for all 25 employers? Or should each of the 25 employers be filing its own 5500?

One.

in a multiple employer plan, regardless of the number of adoption agreements, there is stil only one plan. Accordingly, one 5500.

That's good news -- I think. The next hurdle will be getting several year's worth of information from 25 employers!
