Gilmore Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 Is there a minimum 402g excess that does not require the Plan Administrator to provide a notice to the participant regarding making a withholding election? We have a 402g excess of $12. Thank you.
Lou S. Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 402(g) excess don't have any withholding I believe as the excess is taxable in the prior year. Luke Bailey 1
Gilmore Posted March 19, 2022 Author Posted March 19, 2022 Hmm Lou, I was looking in the EOB and it seems to lump 402g excess in with other corrective distributions that are subject to the 10% non-periodic withholding rules. I didn't see any where in the section that said withholding wasn't required if under a certain amount as there is with distributions eligible for rollover (under $200 I believe), and even though the $12 is a small amount, I'm pretty sure the penalty for not providing a withholding election went to $100 or something like that, so I wanted to be certain it was necessary before making the plan sponsor go through the process of getting an election.
Gilmore Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 My apologies Lou, you are correct. I see in the 1099 R instructions that excess deferrals are not subject to withholding. I will need to go back and reread that EOB section and see where I got confused. Thank you very much.
