Guest RMV Posted April 11, 2000 Posted April 11, 2000 A calendar year plan, liquidates excess contributions from participants accounts and the Trust 3/13/00, the checks are cut 3/15/00 with a post date of 3/16/00 and mailed 3/16/00. Which year would the participants be taxed 1999 or 2000? How is the 2 and ½ months interpreted? Could the transfer of assets and the correction to the Plan prior to 3/15 meet the 2 and ½ deadline?
Guest GregSelf Posted April 11, 2000 Posted April 11, 2000 What's the reason for the 2-day gap period between separation from the trust and cutting the check? I've been given various "opinions" re: this question. The most consistent of which is to use the check date. I guess I assumed that would correspond to the date of liquidation. I haven't seen a situation where there was a gap like you describe. ------------------
Guest RMV Posted April 11, 2000 Posted April 11, 2000 The intent was to have the checks issued by 3/15. Basically, it was a mistake due to a data entry error in miscoding the distribution code on the check requests, which were forwarded to the Trustee, and thus the Trustee was not made aware of the dead line.
