Expanded 5500 Reporting for 403b Plans

[Guest Retirement4Life]

Just wanted to confirm that expanded 5500 reporting for 403b's will commence with the first report filed for plans years beginning on or after January 1, 2009. This is what I had read, but was getting conflicting information from a few sources.

This will mean 403b plans currently required to file a limited 5500 will now have to file a full return much like a similar 401k type plan? I.e. all schedules that could potentially be required and also the audit requirement.

Thanks.

That is correct, see http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/regs/fedreg/final/20071116.pdf for the final guidance from the DOL.
