Terminating an Erisa 403(b) Plan and 5500 Reporting Requirements,
How to Terminate Individually Owned Contracts????
posted by "lori"

A company is going out of business in June 2010. They have about 50 individually owned contracts in the plan. How on earth are they to report distributions on Schedule I for 2009 and then again for 2010 when the plan is terminated by resolution?
 
With the new and extensive 5500 reporting requirements for ERISA 403(b) plans e.g. Schedule H or I, you are required to report distributions to terminated participants effective for 2009 plan years. If a participant owns the contract as opposed to the plan or plan sponsor, how does one report a distribution paid? In the past you did not have to report distributions. How is it possible to report them now when the participant owns the contract?
