TH 401k Posted Sunday at 06:32 PM Posted Sunday at 06:32 PM Is the regulation allows Safe Harbor Formula to be more than 6%. I have seen Safe Harbor enhanced match formula upto 6% as a common. But I have seen one document and it mentioned 100% up to 9%. It is already breaching the Employer Match limit of 6% and 4% rule. Any where in the regulation it allows more than 6% as Safe Harbor.
WCC Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago 100% on 9% satisfies the ADP safe harbor (assuming all other safe harbor conditions are met), but this formula does not satisfy the ACP safe harbor. IRC 401(k)(12)(B)
BG5150 Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago I think the ADP SH is anything >= 3%. ACP SH allows only a % up to 6% of pay. I think you could do like 150% of deferrals up to 6% of pay. But you cannot match on any deferrals over 6%. The 4% limit of comp is limited to the discretionary match. I don' think it's applied to SHM. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

IRC 401(k)(12)(B) Can you do 150% of deferrals on 6% of pay to get to 9%? I think you can. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
