5330 Filings

[dmurph14]

I'm curious what people are doing in practice right for 5330 filings.

Are you still filing paper 5330s and relying on the "lack of authorized vendors" documentation? Or has your firm found a workable e-file solution? The IRS list still shows basically one authorized provider — has anyone actually used them, and how was the experience? Also curious whether firms are absorbing the preparation cost or passing it to the client, and whether anyone has pushed back on the IRS or their software vendor about the lack of a straightforward filing path. It feels like this has been "coming soon" for a couple of years now.
