austin3515 Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 From a recent ASPPA ASAP on the new 5500-EZ. "The instructions show the mailing address for Form 5558 as Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Ogden, UT, 84201‐0045—a new zip + 4 code." Is this just for the EZ's, or for all 5500's Austin Powers, CPA, QPA, ERPA
pmacduff Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 IMHO - I believe that the 5558 is for any 5500 form extension (and now the 8955-SSA) so the new "zip plus 4" change would be for any 5558 you are filing.
Kevin C Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 ASAP 11-21 shows Ogden, UT, 84201‐0045 as the address for filing Form 5558 and Ogden, UT 84201‐0020 as the address for filing Form 5500-EZ.
austin3515 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 Effective when? We jsut send extensions for an 11/30 plan to the "old" address. Is this just fort he 2010 form? Austin Powers, CPA, QPA, ERPA
Kevin C Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Both of those addresses are in the 2010 Form 5500-EZ instructions, which has already been released. It doesn't look like the 5558 has been updated yet, so its instructions show the old address. I would hope that either address would work during a transition period. Or, you could send one to each address and really confuse them.
Bird Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I noticed the change too (actually I'm on the asap committee and suggested we draw attention to it as we did). The new -0045 zip+4 is in the 2010 5500-EZ instructions as well as the 2009 8955-SSA; the old -0027 zip+4 is on the 5558 instructions (that form still has a 2008 release date on it) and the 5500-EZ instructions for 2009 had the old -0027 code, so it is definitely a change for 2010. I asked Ft. William if we should be using the new code for all 5500s and they called the IRS. The original response was to use -0027, but then Ft. William pointed out that -0045 was on the 2010 EZ as well as the new 8955, and the IRS person put them on hold and came back and said to use -0045 for everything. ("True story." ) I would not be too worried about using -0027. I really can't imagine what would trigger this kind of change and don't want to think about it. Ed Snyder Ed Snyder
austin3515 Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 Bird, can I still call you Bird? On message boards, it feels so much more appropriate to call you Bird, as opposed to "Ed" Austin Powers, CPA, QPA, ERPA
GMK Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 and said to use -0045 for everything.I would not be too worried about using -0027. It might pay to keep a file with notes on where forms were mailed, for your own reference in 3 or 4 years, when the computer starts sending out those letters claiming the forms weren't filed.
Bird Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Bird, can I still call you Bird? Yes, please! Ed Snyder
