Unusual Number of 2007 Late Notices

Does anyone feel that they are getting an unusual number of 2007 Late 5500 Notices? Or is it just that the IRS has sent out a ton of them in the last couple of months?

Unusual number, and I am absolutely convinced that this is a screw-up either at the Lawrence, KS facility, or in the transfer of forms/information between EBSA and the IRS. We've had quite a number of these from clients who have always been religious about filing on time (although regrettably ignoring our instruction to send certified mail return receipt) and have gotten these letters. They all end up filing through DFVC, as the IRS absolutely has refused to accept that they were filed timely, without proof.

Big up tick in notices to our clients - bet it is the same problem as the 2006 notices. I think KS just sets up a cut off date for processing the 2007 forms and trashes those not processed.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory...

Well, Lawrence is quite the party town -- but that's usually in basketball season, not summer.
