Plan was created in August 2022 with a 1/1/21 effective date so they could do a PS contribution for '21.

Was there supposed to be a 5500 filed?  If so, how do you go about it?  Plan wasn't in existence until August, well after the extensions were due.

is there a special 5500 rule for plan that are retroactively adopted?

I think I may have found something:

 

Form 5500 Filing Requirement 

In August of 2021, the IRS issued an Employee Plan News bulletin that states that retirement plans that are retroactively adopted can skip the first year’s Form 5500 filing. Plans that are retroactively adopted become effective as of the last day of the first plan year, creating a one-day plan year that would normally require a Form 5500 filing. However, the IRS is allowing plan sponsors to file their first Form 5500 for the 2022 plan year, indicating on the filing by checking a box, that the plan was retroactively adopted.

Does anyone know where on the 5500 you indicate the plan was retroactively amended?
