Understanding Your CP216H Notice

 

What this notice is about

We denied your request to extend the time to file Form 5500 series and/or Form 8955-SSA, Annual Registration Statement Identifying Separated Participants with Deferred Vested Benefits, because your Form 5558, Application for Extension of Time to File Certain Employee Plan Returns, wasn't received on time. A request for an extension of the time to file Form 5500 series and/or 8955-SSA must be received on or before the due date of your return.
 


What you need to do

File your required Form 5500 series and/or 8955-SSA immediately to limit any late filing penalties. If Form 5500 series and/or 8955-SSA is filed after the due date of the return, we will consider the return late and subject to late filing penalties.
