Guest lgm Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 We just brought on a KSOP. We learned that their attorneys advised them they could not have the safe harbor provisions for ADP/ACP if they were a KSOP, so they amended it out when they made it a KSOP. This does not sound right to me. I am not sure where to look to find the rules regarding KSOPs . Can anyone shed a little light on if this employer can have safe harbor provisions in their KSOP plan and/or where I can find citations regarding this matter? Thank You!
stephen Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 The ESOP contribution can be designated as a match and used to meet the alternative safe harbor test. I do not know why the client would be advised otherwise.
Guest tmills Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I agree with Stephen. However, I'm not sure how productive it would be to get in an argument w/ the plan's attorney's. I think it's more of an issue of finding a cite where it says you can't, and I don't think there is one.
QDROphile Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 The plan's attorney shoud be able to give a cogent explanation for the conclusion, or be fired.
