Form 5500 Filing Deadline (Calendar-year Plans Only)

Description

The regular deadline for filing Form 5500 for ERISA-covered employee benefit plans that operate on a calendar year is July 31, 2024, unless a reporting exemption applies. Form 5500 must be filed by the last day of the seventh month following the end of the plan year. An automatic extension of 2.5 months may be requested by filing IRS Form 5558 by the due date. Small welfare benefit plans (fewer than 100 participants) that are fully insured, unfunded, or a combination of insured and unfunded are generally exempt from the Form 5500 filing requirement.
