Plan Sponsors May Be Able to Ignore 8955-SSA Late Filing Letters

The IRS has announced that plan sponsors who timely filed complete Forms 8955-SSA do not need to respond to CP 283-C penalty notices dated prior to September 1, 2023. In an Employee Plans News bulletin, the IRS indicates the CP 283-C was sent to plan sponsors who timely filed their 2022 Forms 8955-SSA due to an IRS system programming issue. 

The IRS states it will be updating its records to reflect timely and complete filings and plan sponsors do not need to respond to CP 283-C penalty notices dated before September 1, 2023, if a complete return was timely filed.
