IRS Offers Easier Option for Substantiating Hardship Withdrawals
Husch Blackwell Link to more items from this source
[Guidance Overview]
Mar. 1, 2017
"Prior informal guidance set out the IRS position that plan administrators must retain financial information and documentation to substantiate the need for a hardship distribution. The new IRS memorandum [provides that] a plan administrator may retain a summary of information contained in source documents. To rely on such a summary, the employee obtaining a hardship distribution must be provided a notice containing information specified in the IRS memorandum, such as the tax consequences of a hardship distribution and the participant's obligation to preserve source documents relating to the hardship."
