"[T]he IRS did not extend the administrative transition period with respect to the Roth catch-up requirement for higher earners, which must still be implemented by 2026. The final rules nonetheless offer plan administrators helpful -- albeit last minute -- guidance on several aspects of administration, including operation of the deemed Roth catch-up election, an optional employer aggregation rule, and greater flexibility for corrections."

"Revenue Ruling 2025-15 is consistent with past IRS rulings that have concluded that withholding and reporting obligations apply at the time a distribution check is distributed to the distributee. This is true even if the check is received but not cashed by the distributee (Revenue Ruling 2019-19) or includes an excess payment that the distributee may be obligated to repay later (Revenue Ruling 2002-84).... [A] number of questions remain regarding plan administrators' obligations when plan participants go missing or fail to receive the check."

"[T]he IRS' preamble to the proposed regulations suggests that a high earner who is eligible for both the special 457(b) catch-up and the age 50 catch-up may make pre-tax contributions up to the amount of their underutilized deferrals. Only the portion of catch-up contributions that exceeds the participant's available special catch-up limit, and is therefore made under Section 414(v), must be made as Roth contributions."

"Tax-exempt organizations with employees who earn $1 million or more may have increased tax liability ... particularly due to severance agreements. However, beginning in 2026, organizations will no longer need to track the top highest paid employees.... If individuals lose ACA premium tax credits, they may instead seek enrollment in employer sponsored plans that could increase plan costs ... Bronze and catastrophic plans are treated as HDHPs regardless of their deductible levels and out-of-pocket maximums."
