We are a TPA firm and have a number of clients that did NOT authorize us to sign the 5500 return on their behalf (they don't want their signature on the www). So these clients have obtained their signing credentials, we've uploaded their 5500 & schedules to the DOL website, and the clients have signed the form 5500 electronically. As TPA, are we allowed to transmit / submit the filing to the DOL once the form has been signed or is the client responsible for doing this?

I believe that both options are available, but it may depend on the software you use and how the initial uploads were designated.

We use Relius but don't have Web Client, so we're having to export the forms from Relius into IFILE. We're just not sure if we are allowed to transmit the signed form on behalf of our clients or if the client is required to do the actual transmission of the signed form.
