When is final 5500 due?

[Jakyasar]

Client told me all assets were distributed by 6/30/2022.

Filed an extension on 1/31/2023 till 4/17/2023

Now found out that still 0.02 is in the account and they will close it this week.

When is the final 5500 due?

[CuseFan]

How, when and why $0.02? Personally, if it's been $0.02 since 6/30/2022, I would treat as zero and file final return for 2022 by 4/17/2023. Otherwise you have a 2022 full year filing due 7/31/2023 and a 2023 final year filing due 7 months after closeout. And what would you show for 12/31/2022 and 1/1/2023 assets? $1? $0.02 rounds to zero. I think practicality and reason should prevail here. I would not like to have the discussion where the client is told they're getting charged for another 5500 filing because $0.02 was left in the account.

[Jakyasar]

It is not about charging the client, it is about doing the right thing. The 0.02 hit the account as an interest residue.

What to do, what to do.

My two cents about your two cents mirrors CuseFan's advice: file the final return for the 6/30/2022 PYE.
