John Doe VCR/Walk-in CAP Submission

[Scott]

Is there a procedure for making a "John Doe" submission under either VCR or Walk-in CAP? In other words, is there any way to communicate with the IRS on an anonymous basis to find out how the IRS would require you to correct a plan defect, so that you can then make a more informed decision whether or not to go into the program?

Under VCR, "John Doe" submissions are NOT permitted; however, you may contact IRS National Office officials on an anonymous basis to discuss plan defects and available methods of correction.

Under Walk-in CAP, with the possible exception of Southeast, all IRS regional offices currently accept "John Doe" submissions.

If you would like more information on how to approach VCR and Walk-in CAP on an anonymous basis, please e-mail me at nickwhite@reish.com.
