Updated EPCRS Guidance Issued

Today, the IRS issued Rev. Proc. 2008-50 containing updated guidance on its employee benefits plan correction program known as EPCRS.

Document Excerpt

The revenue procedure updates the comprehensive system of correction programs for sponsors of retirement plans that are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408(k), or 408(p) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), but that have not met these requirements for a period of time. This system, the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System (”EPCRS”), permits Plan Sponsors to correct these failures and thereby continue to provide their employees with retirement benefits on a tax-favored basis.
