the soon to be form 8955-SSA and extensions

[Tom Poje]

according to the Sungaurd Relius Bulletin:

A plan administrator may use Form 5558 to obtain an extension to file Form 8955-SSA. The IRS Announcement indicates that the rules for obtaining an extension are the same as those applicable to the Form 5500. However, the draft of the revised Form 5558 requires the plan administrator to sign the extension request for a Form 8955-SSA but does not require a signature for an extension request for a Form 5500.

(aside from the automatic extension that will be granted for 2009)

I guess the IRS want's your signature, but the DOL doesn't care.
