rcline46 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 A client received a 'random' audit letter. In the letter one of the items requested was a Form 56 and a 2848 for the trustee. Form 56 for a qualified plan? First time for everything I guess. Auditor says that it is a new requirement for audits of plans. The IRS wants to make sure the trustee is 'qualified' and that the trust is a qualified trust. Although we disagree based on IRC 6903 and 6036 that this applies to qualified plan trusts which are exempt under 501(a) of t he code, the auditor INSISTS on getting the form. Anyone else run into this yet?
