Question 226: S-corp A is a Professional Corp (PC) owned by one professional and S-corp B is a PC owned by one professional. Corp A and Corp B are partners in partnership AB. Current 401(k) plan is at the partnership level. Corp A's payroll is at Corp A level. Can Corp A move payroll to partnership and participate in 401(k) plan? Partnership AB employs 4 NHCEs. |
Answer: What you've described sounds like a classic A-Org style affiliated service group. All the elements are there. That being the case, why do you want to have Corp A move its payroll to the partnership? All three entities are a single employer for retirement plan purposes. Corp A can simply adopt the plan and it will still be a single employer plan. All testing is done once, at the level of the group as a whole, regardless of which entities choose to sponsor the plan. |
