BG5150 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 I have a plan that was a controlled group/ASG in the same plan. This year (2021) four other companies joined the plan that aren't part of the CG/ASG, and no other business ties, so we have an open MEP. As I understand it, in an open MEP, each plan has it's own 5500, and in a closed MEP, they only file one. So, in this case, can I treat that CG as one closed MEP and file a single 5500 for those plans, and stand alone 5500's for the four new ones? Or do I have to file 14 seperate ones? QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
justanotheradmin Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 The original entities would still be a single employer for plan purposes. Just because unrelated employers are added doesn't change the original entities from a single employer to a closed MEP. Sounds like you originally had a single employer plan. and now you have a single employer(comprised of the original entities) plus a bunch of new entities that make it an open MEP.

BG5150 Posted September 28, 2022 Author Posted September 28, 2022 So that single employer can still file only 1 5500 and I will only have to do 5 filings. QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.
