EFAST2 Error Code B-674

[Guest Z&H]

We have several defined contribution plans for which contributions have been frozen. We listed this as one of the plan attributes on the 5500 (Line 8a contains 1I).

We have filed the 2009 5500 with DOL and they have been accepted but with errors. The error code is B-674, "Schedule R, Line 13a cannot be blank when Form 5500, Line A is checked and 5500, Line 8a contains "1x"(Defined Benefit Plan) and Form 5500, Line 7 is less than 20.

I called EFAST2 and they said it was an IRS issue and to call them. I gave up after over 2 hours of holding.

The DOL has accepted these filings but we will need to file an amended return to deal with this error. Anyone see this yet? Or, have an answer?

Thanks.

Codes starting with 1 pertain to DB plans and should not be used for DC plans.

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry I meant defined benefit plans that are frozen. Any ideas? I'l call the IRS tomorrow.
