Recordatorios administrativos

Plan RequirementsDescriptionDue Date
Deposit of employee deferrals and loan paymentsThe Department of Labor (DOL) requires employers to deposit employee deferrals (pre-tax, after-tax, and Roth) in the plan as soon as administratively feasible.
Plans of less than 100 participants at the beginning of the year must submit deferrals and loan payments by the seventh business day following the payroll date. All others must submit contributions as soon as possible following payroll.
The DOL takes an aggressive enforcement approach on this issue.
No later than 7th business day for plans with <100 participants; all others ASAP
Calculation of matching contributionsThe terms of your plan control whether matching contributions are calculated on a payroll or annual basis. If matching contributions are calculated on a payroll basis, participants must spread their salary deferrals over the entire plan year to receive the maximum matching contribution. If the plan annualizes the match, timing of deferrals is not important. For example: Assume the match is 50% on the first 6% of employee deferrals, the participant's annual salary is $100,000, and he/she defers $6,000 by mid-year then stops. If the match is made on a payroll basis, it would be $1,500 (50% x 6% x $50,000). In contrast, if the match is annualized, it would be $3,000 (50% x 6% x $100,000).Throughout plan year
Form 5500Due at the end of the seventh month after plan year end. A two-and-a-half- month extension can be obtained by filing Form 5558 before the due date for Form 5500. Extension may also be granted until due date of employer’s federal tax return. For a short plan year, Form 5500 and applicable schedules are due by the last day of the seventh month after short plan year ends.
