Tom Poje Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 ok, so doing a takeover case. went out to the DOL website to pull last year's 5500 (there are 2 plans) but wait, there are 3 out there from 2009, one with a completely different name. looked that name up on FreeErisa, and its there for 2008 and 2009, but also there in 2004 under a different EIN (beginning 54- instead of 59-) ooops. someone has filed under the wrong number. oh, look at the 2009 filing. I see it wasn't signed until 1/21/2011 so that was late. oh, and it has late deferrals listed. the things you stumble across.
david rigby Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I think all freeERISA documents are based on scanning, so sometimes characters might not be correct. I'm a retirement actuary. Nothing about my comments is intended or should be construed as investment, tax, legal or accounting advice. Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
Tom Poje Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 I e-mailed efast2@efast.dol.gov and the response was Unfortunately, it is possible for a filing author to mistakenly enter an EIN incorrectly. If a filing author has entered an incorrect EIN that matches the EIN of another company, the other company will see the affected filings on the "Submissions" page of the EFAST website. There is currently no method to remove the mistaken filings from the Submissions page list. I was hoping the reponse would be something like: ok, we will contact these folks and have them correct their 5500. oh well.
