General Instructions Return to top

Purpose of Form Return to top

Form 5500-EZ is used by one-participant plans and foreign plans that are not subject to the requirements of section 104(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Note. A one-participant plan or a foreign plan (as defined under Who Must File Form 5500-EZ) cannot file an annual return on Form 5500, Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan, or Form 5500-SF, Short Form Annual Return/Report of Small Employee Benefit Plan, regardless of whether the plan previously filed an annual return on Form 5500 or Form 5500-SF. Therefore, every one-participant plan or a foreign plan required to file an annual return must either file paper Form 5500-EZ with the IRS or electronically file Form 5500-EZ using the EFAST2 Filing System.

Who Must File Form 5500-EZ Return to top

You must file Form 5500-EZ for a retirement plan if the plan is a one-participant plan or a foreign plan that is required to file an annual return under section 6058(a).

A one-participant plan means a retirement plan (that is, a defined benefit pension plan or a defined contribution profit-sharing or money purchase pension plan), other than an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which:

  1. Covers only you (or you and your spouse) and you (or you and your spouse) own the entire business (which may be incorporated or unincorporated); or
  2. Covers only one or more partners (or partners and their spouses) in a business partnership (treating 2% shareholder of an S corporation, as defined in IRC ยง1372(b), as a partner); and
  3. Does not provide benefits for anyone except you (or you and your spouse) or one or more partners (or partners and their spouses).

A one-participant plan must file an annual return unless the plan meets the conditions for not filing under Who Does Not Have To File Form 5500-EZ below.

A foreign plan means a pension plan that is maintained outside the United States primarily for nonresident aliens.

A foreign plan is required to file an annual return if the employer who maintains the plan is:

Caution! Do not file an annual return for a plan that is a qualified foreign plan within the meaning of section 404A(e) that does not qualify for the treatment provided in section 402(d).

Note. If you are not eligible to file the Form 5500-EZ for a plan that is subject to the reporting requirements in section 104 of ERISA, you must electronically file Form 5500 or, if eligible, Form 5500-SF.

Who Does Not Have To File Form 5500-EZ Return to top

You do not have to file Form 5500-EZ for the 2023 plan year for a one-participant plan if the total of the plan's assets and the assets of all other one-participant plans maintained by the employer at the end of the 2023 plan year does not exceed $250,000, unless 2023 is the final plan year of the plan. For more information on final plan years, see Final Return, later.

Example. If a plan meets all the requirements for filing Form 5500-EZ and its total assets (either alone or in combination with one or more one-participant plans maintained by the employer) exceed $250,000 at the end of the 2023 plan year, Form 5500-EZ must be filed for each of the employer's one-participant plans including those with less than $250,000 in assets for the 2023 plan year.

Note. You should use the total plan assets as listed as of the end of the plan year on line 6a(2) of this form to determine whether the plan(s) assets exceed $250,000. If an employer maintains one or more one-participant plans, the total assets of all one-participant plans combined must be counted towards the amount of $250,000.

How To File Return to top

Paper forms for filing. The 2023 Form 5500-EZ may be filed on paper. File the official IRS printed Form 5500-EZ or the downloadable form found on the IRS website; or use approved software, if available.

You can complete the online, fillable 2023 Form 5500-EZ found on the IRS website and download it to your computer to print and sign before mailing to the address specified in these instructions. See Where To File.

You can obtain the official IRS printed 2023 Form 5500-EZ from the IRS to complete by hand with pen or typewriter using blue or black ink. Entries should not exceed the lines provided on the form. Abbreviate if necessary. Paper forms are available from the IRS as discussed earlier in How To Get Forms and Publications.

Electronic filing. Effective for plan years beginning after 2019, a filer can file Form 5500-EZ electronically using the EFAST2 filing system. See EFAST2 Filing System in these instructions.

Mandatory electronic filing. A filer must file the Form 5500-EZ electronically using the EFAST2 Filing System instead of filing a paper Form 5500-EZ with the IRS if the filer is required to file at least 250 returns of any type with the IRS, including information returns (for example, Forms W-2 and Forms 1099), income tax returns, employment tax returns, and excise tax returns, during the calendar year that includes the first day of the applicable plan year. If a filer is required to file a Form 5500-EZ electronically but does not, the filer is considered to have not filed the form even if a paper Form 5500-EZ is submitted. See Treasury Regulations section 301.6058-2 for more information on mandatory electronic filing of employee retirement benefit plan returns. The IRS may waive the requirements to file Form 5500-EZ electronically in cases of undue economic hardship. For information on filing a request for a hardship waiver, see "Recent Developments" under "About Form 5500-EZ" available at https://www.irs.gov.

EFAST2 Filing System Return to top

A one-participant plan and a foreign plan can satisfy their filing obligation under the Code by filing Form 5500-EZ electronically under the EFAST2 filing system in place of filing Form 5500-EZ on paper with the IRS.

Under EFAST2, you must electronically file the 2023 Forms 5500 and 5500-SF using EFAST2's web-based filing system or you may file through an EFAST2-approved vendor. The 2023 Form 5500-EZ can also be electronically filed using the EFAST2 filing system or filed on paper with the IRS. For more information about electronic filing, see the EFAST2 website at www.efast.dol.gov. For telephone assistance, call the EFAST2 Help Desk at 1-866-GO-EFAST (1-866-463-3278). The EFAST2 Help Desk is available Monday through Friday.

Note (1). A filer must file Form 5500-EZ electronically instead of filing Form 5500-EZ on paper if the filer is required to file at least 250 returns of any type with the IRS during the calendar year. See How To File for more information.

Note (2). If a filer is not subject to the IRS mandatory electronic filing requirement under Treasury Regulations section 301.6058-2, a filer may elect to file Form 5500-EZ electronically using the EFAST2 filing system. Information filed on Form 5500-EZ is required to be made available to the public. However, the information for a one-participant plan or a foreign plan, whether filed electronically with EFAST2 or filed on paper, will not be published on the internet.

What To File Return to top

Plans required to file an annual return for one-participant (owners and their spouses) retirement plans or foreign plans may file Form 5500-EZ in accordance with its instructions. Filers of Form 5500-EZ are not required to file schedules or attachments related to Form 5500 with the 2023 Form 5500-EZ. However, you must collect and retain for your records completed Schedule MB (Form 5500), Multiemployer Defined Benefit Plan and Certain Money Purchase Plan Actuarial Information, if applicable, and completed and signed Schedule SB (Form 5500), Single-Employer Defined Benefit Plan Actuarial Information, if applicable. Even though you do not have to file the Schedule MB (Form 5500) or Schedule SB (Form 5500) with the 2023 Form 5500-EZ, you are still required to both perform an annual valuation and maintain the funding records associated with plan funding in the same manner as a plan for which the applicable schedule must be filed.

Eligible combined plans. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 established rules for a new type of pension plan, an "eligible combined plan," effective for plan years beginning after December 31, 2009. An eligible combined plan consists of a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under section 401(k). The assets of the two plans are held in a single trust, but clearly identified and allocated between plans. The eligible combined plan design is available only to employers that:

Because an eligible combined plan includes both a defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan, the Form 5500-EZ filed for the plan must include all the information that would be required for either a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution plan.

Note. The 2023 Schedule MB (Form 5500) and the 2023 Schedule SB (Form 5500) are available only electronically from the Department of Labor website at www.efast.dol.gov. You can complete the schedules online and print them out for your records. If you are a Form 5500-EZ filer, do not attempt to electronically file the Schedule MB or Schedule SB related to your 2023 Form 5500-EZ filing.

For purposes of this form, the short plan year ends on the date of the change in accounting period or the complete distribution of the plan's assets.

First Return. top

Check box A(1) if this is the first filing for this plan. Do not check this box if you have ever filed for this plan, even if it was a different form (for example, Form 5500).

Amended Return. top

Check box A(2) if you are filing an amended Form 5500-EZ to correct errors and/or omissions in a previously filed annual return for the 2023 plan year. The amended Form 5500-EZ must conform to the requirements under the How To File section, earlier.

If you are filing an amended return for a one-participant plan or a foreign plan that previously filed electronically using Form 5500-SF or Form 5500-EZ, you must submit the 5500-EZ for amending returns originally filed for the prior years or use the current-year Form 5500-EZ for amending returns filed for the current year or returns originally filed older than 3-years. Do Not use Form 5500-SF for an amended return of a one-participant plan or a foreign plan, even if you previously filed using Form 5500-SF.

If you are filing an amended return for a one-participant plan or a foreign plan that was previously filed on a paper Form 5500-EZ, you must submit the amended return using the paper Form 5500-EZ with the IRS.

Using Form 5558

If filing under an extension of time based on the filing of a Form 5558, Application for Extension of Time to File Certain Employee Plan Returns, do not attach Form 5558 to your Form 5500-EZ. Check the "Form 5558" box in Part 1, line B. A one-time extension of time to file Form 5500-EZ (up to 2½ months) may be obtained by filing Form 5558 on or before the normal due date (not including any extensions) of the return. You can file paper Form 5558 with the IRS.

Approved copies of the Form 5558 will not be returned to the filer. A copy of the completed extension request must be retained with the plan's records.

See the instructions for Form 5558 and file paper Form 5558 with the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, UT 84201-0045.

Note. Line A of the Form 5558 asks for "Name of filer, plan administrator, or plan sponsor." The name of the plan sponsor is generally the same as the employer name for a one-participant plan.

Using Extension of Time to File Federal Income Tax Return

Filers are automatically granted an extension of time to file Form 5500-EZ until the extended due date of the federal income tax return of the employer (and are not required to file Form 5558) if all of the following conditions are met.

  1. The plan year and the employer's tax year are the same;
  2. The employer has been granted an extension of time to file its federal income tax return to a date later than the normal due date for filing the Form 5500-EZ; and
  3. A copy of the application for extension of time to file the federal income tax return is retained with the plan's records.

Be sure to check the "automatic extension" box in Part 1, line B, at the top of the form. An extension granted by using this automatic extension procedure cannot be extended further by filing a Form 5558, nor can it be extended beyond a total of 9½ months beyond the close of the plan year.

Other Extensions of Time

The IRS may annouce special extensin of time under certain circumstances, such as extensions for Presidentially-declared disasters or for service in, or in support of, the Armed Forces of the United States in a combat zone. If you are relying on one of these announced special extensions, check the "special extension" box on the Form 5500-EZ, Part 1, line B, and enter a description of the announced authority for the extension.

Foreign Plan. top

Check box C if the return is filed by a foreign plan. See Who Must File Form 5500-EZ, earlier.

Late Filer Penalty Relief Program top

The IRS Late Filer Penalty Relief Program for late annual reporting for non-Title I retirement plans (one-participant plans and certain foreign plans) provides administrative relief to plan administrators and plan sponsors from the penalties otherwise applicable under sections 6652(e) and 6692 for failing to timely comply with the annual reporting requirements imposed under sections 6047(e), 6058, and 6059. Rev. Proc. 2015-32 requires that an applicant must submit a complete Form 5500-EZ for the delinquent plan year on paper with the IRS. The IRS delinquent return cannot be filed electronically through EFAST2 System.

An applicant under the program must print in red letters in the top margin above the Form 5500-EZ's title on the first page of the return: "Delinquent Return Submitted under Rev. Proc. 2015-32, Eligible for Penalty Relief." A filer who checks box D and submits the delinquent 2023 Form 5500-EZ under the program is not required to also mark the return as described in Rev. Proc. 2015-32. However, the return must still be marked as described in Rev. Proc. 2015-32 for delinquent returns for years that have no box D available. Please be aware that each submission under the program must include a completed paper copy of Form 14704 attached to the front of the oldest delinquent return in the submission. Form 14704 can be found at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f14704.pdf. See Rev. Proc. 2015-32, 2015-24 1063, for more information.

Check this box E if the plan sponsor adopted the plan during the 2023 plan year (i.e., by the due date, including extension, for filing the plan sponsor's tax return for the 2022 taxable year) and elected to treat the plan as having been adopted before the 2023 plan year began (i.e., at the close as of the last day of the sponsor's taxable year) as permitted by section 201 of the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019 (SECURE ACT). Plans in this situation are not required to file a 2022 Form 5500-EZ. However, if the plan is a defined benefit pension plan, the enrolled actuary must complete and sign the 2022 Schedule SB (Form 5500) in addition to the 2023 Schedule SB (Form 5500) and the plan sponsor must retain both Schedule SBs for its records.

A Pre-approved Plan may utilize either of two forms: a basic plan document with an adoption agreement or a single plan document. The employer is permitted to make minor modifications to the plan. An "Adopting Employer" is an employer that adopts a Pre-approved Plan offered by a Provider, including a plan that is word-for-word identical to, or a minor modification of, a plan of a Mass Submitter. If a plan was modified in such a way that negates the Opinion Letter, then the plan sponsor is no longer an Adopting Employer of a Pre-approved Plan, and the plan is treated as an individually designed plan. An "Opinion Letter" is a written statement issued by the IRS to a Provider or Mass Submitter as an opinion on the qualification in form of a plan under Code section 401(a), Code section 403(a), or both Code sections 401 or 403(a) and 4975(e)(7). See Revenue Procedure 2017-41 for more information. The opinion letter serial number is a unique combination of a capital letter and a series of six numbers assigned to each opinion letter.
