Form 5500 Pension Plan Penalty Filing Relief

For those of you like me presently wrestling with this issue the IRS recently came out with the following:

Revenue Procedure 2014-32 establishes a one-year pilot program to provide relief to plan administrators who fail to timely file Form 5500 EZ.

Revenue Procedure 2014-32 will be published in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2014-23 on June 2, 2014.

Notice 2014-35 applies administrative relief to late filers of Form 5500 who satisfy the requirements of this notice and the Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance (“DFVC”) Program administered by the Department of Labor (“DOL”) Employee Benefits Security Administration.

Notice 2014-35 will be published in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2014-23 on June 2, 2014.

Basically it cannot be done with just a phone call anymore…
