Excess deferral |

Excess deferral. An excess deferral is a contribution that exceeds the tax-deductible amount you can add to an employer sponsored retirement plan in a particular year. Your plan may allow excess deferrals to be distributed to you. If so, you must make the request by April 15 of the following year. If the amount and any earnings are returned to you by that date, the excess is taxed in the year it went into the plan and the earnings are taxed in the year they are distributed. There's no 10% tax penalty for early withdrawal. For example, if you contribute too much in 2008, you must request distribution by April 15, 2009. If the distribution is made by April 15, 2009, you report the excess as income for 2008 and the earnings as income for 2009. If the distribution is not made before the deadline, the excess is taxed in the year it was made and also when it is distributed. How to thank TFD for its existence?

Because the beginning deferred actuarial loss of $1,270 is larger than the $590 corridor (10% of beginning plan assets of $5,900), the $680 excess deferral ($1,270-$590) is divided by the five-year service period to produce the $136 one-time adjustment that is added to the year's pension cost and deducted from comprehensive income. But if the excess deferrals are not distributed by that deadline, the proposed regulations would provide that any distribution attributable to an excess deferral that is a designated Roth contribution is includible in income and not eligible for rollover. Under prior law, 401(k) plans satisfied the discrimination tests by returning excess deferral contributions to the HCEs who had the highest deferral percentages, as opposed to the HCE with the highest deferral amount. |
