ONLINE WEBINAR: 

 Post-Year-end Plan Adoption; Funding update after the American Rescue Plan 

Thursday, January 27, 2022

1:00 PM to 2:40 PM PST

The Presentation

The session will cover two issues that we first dealt with in 2021.  First, effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2019, the SECURE Act allows employers to adopt plans after their tax year-end.  So 2021 was the first year we could look back at the prior year (i.e. 2020) and determine if a plan made sense after the year was over. Secondly, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) significantly changed the funding rules by modifying the interest rate smoothing rules first introduced in MAP 21 and by increasing the amortization period of the shortfall from 7 to 15 years.  Notice 2021-48 provided detailed information on reporting such changes including related elections.
