October 01, 2019
On September 23, 2019, the IRS published a draft version of the 2019 Form 5500-EZ return/report. As background, IRS Form 5500-EZ is an annual filing requirement for retirement plans that are either a one-participant plan or a foreign plan. This draft is only for informational purposes and may not be used for 2019 Form 5500-EZ filings, but employers should familiarize themselves with the form in preparation for 2019 plan year filings.
The IRS does not appear to have made any changes to this year’s form. While many employers outsource the preparation and filing of this form, employers should also familiarize themselves with the form’s requirements and work closely with outside vendors to collect the applicable information.
