flosfur Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Brand new plan with short PY for the first year. Is one required to pro-rate charges/credits as is the case on plan termination (Rev. Rul 79-237)? To my thinking, one is calculating annual contributions payable from the valuation date over the working lifetime of the partcipants. So for an EOY val on 12/31 say, one is calculating annual contributions payable from 12/31, and it is irrelevant if the plan is a full or short plan year? What if the plan year is changed for an exsiting plan?
Effen Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 Just curious, but why would you have a short plan year for the first plan year?

flosfur Posted September 3, 2008 Author Posted September 3, 2008 Just curious, but why would you have a short plan year for the first plan year? I didn't. I got this plan from a TPA where the business started June x, say, and the TPA entered the first plan year to be June x to December 31st, thinking that the plan start must be on or after the business start date! (My understanding is the plan can be effective from Jan 1 even if the sponsor commenced business after Jan 1).
