Lets businesses and retirement plans file paperwork later and online
This bill would give businesses and organizations more time to file important paperwork for employee retirement and benefit plans. It would also let them use electronic signatures for these filings, making the process simpler for those managing these plans.
Today, businesses and organizations must file Form 5500 within 210 days after their plan year ends, and other annual reports within 6 months. These forms usually need physical signatures. If this bill becomes law, these deadlines would be extended to 15 days after the end of the ninth calendar month following the plan year, and electronic signatures would be allowed for these filings.
