Testing 401a26

Late Friday, brain freeze time

Need to check something with the gurus as I have been researching and failing to find.

Testing for 401a26 and annual method fails.

Software has couple options:

1. Change to average salary (highest 3) and test against annual accrual

2. Change to average salary and use accrued-to-date method (been doing the plan since day one so have all the data)

Any issues with either of the above?

Also, I could not find anything that would prohibit me testing 410b and 401a4 using different methods than 401a26. Anything I am not able to find?

Thank you

I wasn't aware 1 was an option but sounds OK and yes, 2 is definitely OK. Correct, you need not use the same methodology for 410b, 401a4 and 401a26.
