        Top Heavy for Next Year Top

        Plan is Top Heavy for next year Top

        System generated, or select "Yes" or "No".

        NOTE: Determination Date for top heavy minimum allocations for the next Plan Year is the last day of this Plan Year. The "Next Plan Year" Top Heavy ratio and various Top Heavy balances are populated from current Plan Year data. To override system generated numbers, manually enter information in the applicable fields for this Plan Year.

        NOTE: For defined contribution plans that are not money purchase pension or target balance plans, current year contributions are included in the top heavy calculations for the current year (used to determine if a top heavy minimum contribution may be required in the next Plan Year) based on contribution date, NOT allocation date. In other words, receivables are not included in the top heavy calculation unless deposited on or before the determination date. Receivables ARE included in top heavy calculations for money purchase pension and target balance plans. Top heavy reports are generated using data from posted transactions. The two date fields used (allocation and contribution) need to be completed correctly to ensure that contributions are included in the top heavy determination for the appropriate Plan Year. The allocation date is either the last day of the Plan Year (for annual profit sharing or matching contributions) or the payroll end date (for deferrals and periodic matching contributions). The contribution date is the date the funds are actually deposited as plan assets. For example, a corporation with a calendar year fiscal year and calendar year Plan Year could delay sending employer contributions to the custodian/trustee until the extended due date of the corporate tax return (September 15th).
