Janice F Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 I see on the newly released 5558 there is a box to extend the new 8955-SSA form. Even though the date for filing the SSA has been officially extended by IRS (for both 2009 and 2010) to January 2012, we still have to file the 5558 to get the extension on the SSA filing? I also noticed that the extension request for the SSA has to be signed, unlike the extensions for the 5500. Is this everyone else's take on this? Seems like we will be doing alot of extra 5558s in the next couple of weeks.
Tom Poje Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 that's not my understanding. My understanding is that the due date is Jan 2012, unless you are requesting to further have it extended for whatever reason. but yes, if you are requesting an extension for the SSA then in its wisdom the IRS is requirong a signature.
