Form 5500-EZ is an annual return filed
by a one-participant or one-participant and spouse pension plan.
The IRS uses this data to determine if the plan appears to be
operating properly as required under the law or whether the plan
should be audited.
US Code:
26
USC 410(b) Name of Law: Minimum coverage requirements
IRS is in the process of
creating a temporary, pilot program which would allow delinquent
filers of Form 5500-EZ (and some delinquent Form 5500 filers) to
submit their delinquent returns without penalty. The delinquent
filers will be required to submit a "Transmittal Schedule" in
addition to filing the delinquent form. As currently contemplated,
the Transmittal Schedule would be attached to the front of each
delinquent return that is filed and would allow IRS to track the
number of returns submitted under the program, and provide a basis
for determining whether or not the program would become permanent.
The Transmittal Schedule should take no more than five minutes to
fill out and would be attached to every delinquent return. While
IRS cannot be certain regarding how many delinquent returns will be
filed under this program, we anticipate receiving approximately
2000 returns. The purpose of the Transmittal Schedule is to allow
us to keep track of the number of delinquent returns being filed.
Because the delinquent returns go directly into normal return
processing, this form will allow IRS to track the number of
delinquent returns being filed under this program. The number of
returns filed will help determine if the pilot program is
successful and whether it will be continued as a permanent program.
There is no intention to use these Transmittal Schedules as a basis
for an exam or any other follow-up.
