EGTRRA Restatement!!
Periodically, every Qualified
Retirement Plan is required by the IRS to be entirely “restated” in order to
maintain the tax-qualified status of the Plan. Therefore, all Amendments and
changes since the last document revision must be incorporated into a new,
approved Plan document. The IRS allows only a limited amount of time to
complete this task. APC is prepared for it and ready to begin the restatement of
your Retirement Plan.
The IRS mandated that Defined
Contribution plans be restated by April 30, 2010 and all APC documents are
complete! The Defined Benefit restatements will begin shortly.
If you missed restatement of
your Defined Contribution plan document, APC can assist you with the IRS
voluntary compliance program (VCP).
Following are some questions you may have . . .
