INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION REFERENCES ARE TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE.
PURPOSE OF FORM
You may use this schedule to satisfy the requirements under section 6033(a)
for an annual information return from every section 401(a) organization
exempt from tax under section 501(a).
Filing this form will start the running of the statute of limitations
under section 6501(a) for any trust described in section 401(a), which is
exempt from tax under section 501(a).
WHO MAY FILE
1. Every trustee of a trust created as part of an employee benefit plan as
described in section 401(a).
2. Every custodian of a custodial account described in section 401(f).
HOW TO FILE
File Schedule P (Form 5500) for the trust year ending with or within any
participating plan's plan year. Attach it to the Form 5500, 5500-C/R, or
5500-EZ filed by the plan for that plan year. A separately filed Schedule P
(Form 5500) will not be accepted.
If the trust or custodial account is used by more than one plan, file one
Schedule P (Form 5500). If a plan uses more than one trust or custodial
account for its funds, file one Schedule P (Form 5500) for each trust or
custodial account.
TRUST'S EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Enter the trust employer identification number (EIN) assigned to the employee
benefit trust or custodial account, if one has been issued to you. The trust
EIN should be used for transactions conducted for the trust. If you do not
have a trust EIN, enter the EIN you would use on Form 1099-R to report
distributions from employee benefit plans and on Form 945 to report withheld
amounts of income tax from those payments.
NOTES: TRUSTEES WHO DO NOT HAVE AN EIN MAY APPLY FOR ONE ON FORM SS-4,
APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER. YOU MUST BE CONSISTENT AND
USE THE SAME EIN FOR ALL TRUST REPORTING PURPOSES.
SIGNATURE
The fiduciary (trustee or custodian) must sign this schedule. If there is
more than one fiduciary, the fiduciary authorized by the others may sign.
OTHER RETURNS AND FORMS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED
- - FORM 990-T -- For trusts described in section 401(a), a tax is imposed on
income derived from business that is unrelated to the purpose for which the
trust received a tax exemption. Report this income and tax on FORM 990-T,
Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. (See sections 511 through 514
and the related regulations.)
- - FORM 1099-R -- If you made payments or distributions to individual
beneficiaries of a plan, report those payments on Form 1099-R. (See the
instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.)
- - FORM 945 -- If you made payments or distributions to individual
beneficiaries of a plan, you may be required to withhold income tax from
those payments. Use FORM 945, Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax,
to report taxes withheld from nonpayroll items. (SEE CIRCULAR E, Employer's
Tax Guide (Pub. 15), for more information.)
