Filing Tips

A one-participant plan (as defined under Who Must File
Form 5500-EZ on page 2) may not file an annual return
on Form 5500, Annual Return/Report of Employee
Benefit Plan, for 2009 regardless of whether the plan was
previously required to file an annual return on Form 5500.
Every one-participant plan that is required to file an
annual return for 2009 must instead file paper Form
5500-EZ, Annual Return of One-Participant (Owners and
Their Spouses) Retirement Plan, or, if eligible,
electronically file Form 5500-SF, Short Form Annual
Return/Report of Small Employee Benefit Plan.
Foreign plans (as defined under Who Must File Form
5500-EZ on page 2) are not eligible to file Form 5500 for
2009, regardless of whether the plan was previously
required to file an annual return on Form 5500. Every
foreign plan that is required to file an annual return for
2009 must instead file paper Form 5500-EZ, Annual
Return of One-Participant (Owners and Their Spouses)
Retirement Plan.
Form 5500-EZ for 2009 will not be filed through the
computerized ERISA Filing Acceptance System
(EFAST). The “machine print” Form 5500-EZ (completed
using computer software from EFAST approved vendors)
and the “hand print” Form 5500-EZ (on official
government produced paper for processing with EFAST)
are not available for 2009 filings. However, a fillable Form
5500-EZ for 2009 may be completed and downloaded
from the IRS website. The filer must print the completed
return, sign, date, and mail it to the address shown under
Where To File on page 3. Or, an official IRS printed
paper Form 5500-EZ for 2009, obtained from the IRS,
can be completed by hand and filed using the same
address for filing the downloaded form.
New plan characteristic codes have been added to
identify foreign plans, one-participant plans that satisfy
the minimum coverage requirements of section 410(b)
only when combined with another plan of the employer,
plans whose sponsors received services of leased
employees (as defined in section 414(n)), and plans
whose sponsors are members of a controlled group
under section 414(b), or (c), or an affiliated service group
under section 414(m).

To reduce the possibility of correspondence and
penalties, we remind filers:
• Use the online, fillable 2009 Form 5500-EZ on the IRS
website. Complete and download the form to your
computer to print and sign before mailing.
• Or, use the official IRS printed paper Form 5500-EZ
obtained from the IRS. Complete the form by hand (with
pen or typewriter). Be sure to enter your information in
the specific line fields provided, sign, and date the form
before mailing.
• Do not use felt tip pens or other writing instruments
that can cause signatures or data to bleed through to the
other side of the paper. One-sided documents should
have no markings on the blank side.
• Paper should be clean without glue or other sticky
substances.
• Do not submit extraneous information such as arrows
or notes on the form.

Who Must File Form 5500-EZ
You must file Form 5500-EZ for a retirement plan if:
1. The plan is a one-participant plan that is required to
file an annual return and you are not eligible or choose
not to file the annual return electronically on Form
5500-SF; or
2. The plan is a foreign plan that is required to file an
annual return.
A one-participant plan means a retirement plan (that
is, a defined benefit pension plan or a defined
contribution profit-sharing or money purchase pension
plan), other than an ESOP, which:
a. covers only you (or you and your spouse) and you
(or you and your spouse) own the entire business (which
may be incorporated or unincorporated); or
b. covers only one or more partners (or partners and
their spouses) in a business partnership; and
c. does not provide benefits for anyone except you (or
you and your spouse) or one or more partners (or
partners and their spouses).

EFAST2 Filing System
Under the computerized ERISA Filing Acceptance
System (EFAST2), you must electronically file the 2009
Forms 5500 and 5500-SF using EFAST2’s web-based
filing system or you may file through an
EFAST2-approved vendor. The 2009 Form 5500-EZ will
be filed on paper only and cannot be filed with this
electronic system. For more information, see the EFAST2
website at www.efast.dol.gov. For telephone assistance,
call the EFAST2 Help Line at 1-866-GO-EFAST
(1-866-463-3278). The EFAST2 Help Line is available
Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Eastern
Time.
One-participant plans may satisfy their filing obligation
under the Code by filing Form 5500-SF electronically
under EFAST2 in place of Form 5500-EZ (on paper),
provided that the plan covered fewer than 100
participants at the beginning of the plan year.
One-participant plans that covered 100 or more
participants at the beginning of the plan year are not
eligible to file Form 5500-SF, and must file form 5500-EZ.
Eligible one-participant plans need complete only the
following questions on the Form 5500-SF:
• Part I, lines A, B, and C;
• Part II, lines 1a –5b;
• Part III, lines 7a –c, and 8a;
• Part IV, line 9a;
• Part V, line 10g; and
• Part VI, lines 11 –12e.
Note. A one-participant plan that files Form 5500-SF
completes the same questions that it would have to
complete if it filed Form 5500-EZ.
Note. Information filed on Form 5500-EZ and Form
5500-SF is required to be made available to the public.
Form 5500-SF is open to public inspection and
publication on the Internet.

A one-participant plan must file an annual return
unless the plan meets the conditions for not filing under
Who May Not Have To File Form 5500-EZ below.
A foreign plan means a pension plan that is
maintained outside the Unties States primarily for
nonresident aliens.
A foreign plan is required to file an annual return if the
employer who maintains the plan is:
• a domestic employer, or
• a foreign employer with income derived from sources
within the United States (including foreign subsidiaries of
domestic employers) if contributions to the plan are
deducted on its U.S. income tax return.
Do not file an annual return for a plan that is a
qualified foreign plan within the meaning of
CAUTION section 404A(e) that does not qualify for the
treatment provided in section 402(d).
If you are not filing for a one-participant plan or a
foreign plan, electronically file Form 5500 or, if eligible,
Form 5500-SF.

Who May Not Have To File Form
5500-EZ
You do not have to file Form 5500-EZ for the 2009 plan
year for a one-participant plan if the total of the plan’s
assets and the assets of all other one-participant plans
maintained by the employer at the end of the 2009 plan
year does not exceed $250,000, unless 2009 is the final
plan year of the plan. For more information on final plan
years, see Final Return on page 3.
Example. If a plan meets all the requirements for
filing Form 5500-EZ and its total assets (either alone or in
combination with one or more one-participant plans
maintained by the employer) exceed $250,000 at the end
of the 2009 plan year, Form 5500-EZ must be filed for
each of the employer’s one-participant plans including
those with less than $250,000 in assets for the 2009 plan
year.

What To File
Pursuant to the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA),
the Form 5500 series requirements have been changed
for pension benefit plans subject to the minimum funding
requirements of section 412. For plan years beginning on
or after January 1, 2008, Schedule B (Form 5500),
Actuarial Information, was replaced by two collection
vehicles, Schedule MB (Form 5500), Multiemployer
Defined Benefit Plan and Certain Money Purchase Plan
Actuarial Information, and Schedule SB (Form 5500),
