Looking for an efficient way to file your Form 8955-SSA online? IRS-approved Tax1099 allows you to eFile your Form 8955-SSA with security and ease, all online. IRS Form 8955-SSA is used to report information on deferred vested retirement plan participants, helping plan administrators stay compliant with reporting requirements.
Form 8955-SSA is an IRS form that provides essential information regarding participants in a qualified retirement plan who have separated from service but have not yet taken a distribution. It is critical for maintaining accurate records and ensuring compliance with IRS regulations.
Plan administrators or employers who maintain a qualified retirement plan must file Form 8955-SSA if they have separated participants with deferred vested benefits. This includes 401(k) plans, pension plans, and other types of qualified retirement arrangements. The form must be filed annually, typically along with Form 5500.
A plan administrator is not required to report a separated participant if their deferred vested benefits are tied to an annuity contract or custodial account excluded from section 403(b) plan assets, as specified in the Department of Labor (DOL) Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) 2009-02. For this exception to apply, the following must be true:
For more information, visit DOL FAB 2009-02.
When completing Form 8955-SSA, the following details are essential:
Plan Information: Legal name and account number of the retirement plan.
Participant Information: Details of each separated participant, including their name, Social Security Number (SSN), and date of separation.
Deferred Vested Benefits: The value of the benefits which are expected to be received at some time in the future by each of the participants and this is important as far as reporting and legal needs are concerned.
Deferred vested benefits are the retirement benefits to be received by an employee, having earned them in service, but have not been so paid since the employee has terminated his relationship with a company and has not withdrawn his benefits.
Here's a breakdown of the key components:
Deferred: This means that the benefits are not easily attainable Consumers will have to wait for a long time in order to get the benefits that will enable consumer subsidies. The above benefits will be paid to the employee at some time in the future, usually when he has quit or perhaps when he is old.
Vested: Implicit benefits are those that the employee has earned his/her right to receive, including those that the employee can take fully with him/her if he/she chooses to leave the organization. This is to mean that the employee has served the required number of years or acquired other conditions laid down under the retirement plan to qualify for those benefits.
