Due date for Form 5500

[ac]

If a defined benefit plan year ends 1/15/11, what is the extended due date for the form 5500?

Mid November; unless this is a trick question. The deadline is typically the end of the 7th month following the month in which the plan year ends. For plans with years ending December 1st through December 31st would have a July 31st due date (extended 2 1/2 months to October 15th). So, any plan year ending in January should be the same logic; with an August 31st due date (extended to November 15th).

I am not tracking the weekends in my analysis, but merely stating the concept.

Good Luck!
