RE: IRS FORMS 4461, 4461-A AND 4461-B
__________________________________________________________
Attached are copies of the latest versions of IRS Form
4461, Application for Approval of Master or Prototype and
Regional Prototype Defined Contribution Plan, Form 4461-A,
Application for Approval of Master or Prototype and Regional
Prototype Defined Benefit Plan, and Form 4461-B, Application for
Approval of Master or Prototype Plan or Regional Prototype Plan
(Mass Submitter Adopting Sponsor).
According to Announcement 89-99, a copy of which is also
attached, Forms 4461 and 4461-B have been revised to reflect
changes made by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The new forms must
be used for any requests postmarked after August 14, 1989.
Form 4461-B is a new form designed to be used for
requesting approval of a plan submitted by a mass submitter on
behalf of a sponsoring organization, which is based on a plan
submitted by the mass submitter. The form may be used by master
or prototype mass submitters or by regional prototype plan mass
submitters.
All three forms are designed to be used with optical
scanning equipment and must be filed on the original forms.
We will keep you informed of further developments.
