401(k) Testing Techniques:

before, during and after

Recorded on Wednesday, February 17, 2021

  Our Presentation:

One of the more challenging aspects of 401(k) plan administration is the annual testing. Understanding the testing rules and options is a necessary skill each practitioner must develop to avoid unnecessary distributions, taxes and disqualification consequences. Failing to take advantage of the different testing options can result in unnecessary distributions, reporting and additional taxes. Getting a handle on the various testing options can help transform a failing plan to one that passes, and thus, happier plan sponsors. In this webcast, we will address the availability of the different testing techniques before the plan year, during the plan year, and after the plan year.

•          401(k) Testing Options
•          Compensation options
•          Who is and who isn’t an HCE?
•          Correction Ordering Rules
•          Timing of Correction
