TaxFLFuzz Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I have an owner-only plan (no employees) that maxes their 401k & profit sharing contribution ever year. So $66,000 intended to be contributed for 2023, and $69,000 has been contributed for 2024. We are now discovering that the 2023 deposit of profit sharing has not been made (401k deferral was), and also discovering that the profit sharing deduction wasn't taken on the 2023 tax return. Is there any way to clean this up so the client gets the 2023 deduction, or is it too late?
BG5150 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Tell him to speak with his accountant. But I believe that ship has sailed. Aren't deductible contributions due before the company files its tax return? (In this case sometime in 2024?) Also, they will be messing with the 2025 415 limit, as anything after Oct 15 the following year (for a calendar year plan) is considered a 415 addition in/for the year it's contributed. These are the rules as I understand them. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
TaxFLFuzz Posted February 25 Author Posted February 25 Another avenue: Would the extended deadlines due to the 2024 hurricanes apply to 2023 deposits due by 9/15/24? He is located in the impacted area.
