Is Your Health and Welfare Plan Compliant?
Plans with more than 100 participants on the first day of the plan year must file a Form 5500 and associated schedules with the Department of Labor (DOL) each year for their health and welfare plans. The due date to file your IRS From 5500 is July 31 for calendar year plans.
Read BASIC’s White Paper covering 5500 Filings.
The DOL’s Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance Program (DFVC) encourages compliance with the annual reporting requirements and gives plan administrators the opportunity to avoid potentially higher civil penalties by paying a reduced penalty amount and bringing the plan into compliance with past filings. DFVC enforces a penalty of $10 per day past the filing deadline up to a maximum of $2,000 per year and a maximum penalty capped at $4,000 per plan regardless of the number of years filed at one time under the program.
