How to Resolve Common 403b Plan Errors

Retirement plans are an important benefit for employers to offer as part of an incentive package to employees. Many companies offer such plans because they provide an important method for employees to save for retirement tax deferred. While for-profit companies leverage the popular 401k plan, non-profit organizations such as schools, government agencies and others are required to use 403b plans. Like 401k plans there are many rules and regulations which must be followed and mandated by both the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Labor (DOL) including covering topics from exceeding deferral limits to following plan documents. Unfortunately, errors within plans are possible and these errors can leave a plan non-compliant and result in penalties and more if not addressed. To help clients, prospects and others understand these mistakes and how to correct them, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary below.
