Guest Stacey Potts Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I have a purely profit sharing plan, 1 participant - the assets are less than $250,000, however, there is a life insurance policy within the plan. Is the plan subject to nondiscrimination testing and 5500?
Effen Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Does the plan sponsor have other employees? If so, are the others excluded, or just not eligible? Does the value of the insurance policy, plus the assets in the trust exceed $250K?

There are no other employees, the value of assets plus cash value of policy is $164,179.51.
Effen Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 If there are no other employees, who could you possible discriminate against? IDK if the insurance policy causes you to do a 5500, but I doubt it. As long as assets are less than $250K, you only need to do a 5500 in the final year of the plan. Also, the $250K includes all plans of the employer, so if they have other qualified plans, you need to consider those assets as well.
