457(b) plan and the Form 5500

[John Feldt ERPA CPC QPA]

A prospect appears to have been filing a Form 5500 for their 457(b) plan by somehow combining it with their 403(b) plan's Form 5500. It appears that the initial 120-day DOL filing after the plan was executed had not been done for the 457(b), so the 5500 filing is required.

I see no reference on the Form 5500 instructions for items to complete or not complete for a 457(b) plan. Any idea what actually would need to be completed for a 457(b) plan Form 5500?

Have you ever heard of filing a 5500 where both the 403(b) and the 457(b) plan names are both listed for the plan?

This is not responsive to your Qs, but you can file the silly top hat notice late and get relief under DFVCP for $750.
