Beginning January 1, 2010, delinquent and amended filings must be submitted electronically through EFAST2 and cannot be submitted on paper through the current EFAST system. A limited exception is available, however, for delinquent and amended 2008 plan year filings.
To submit a delinquent or amended Form 5500 return/report electronically through EFAST2 for plan years prior to 2009, you must submit the filing using current filing year Form 5500, schedules, and instructions.
To obtain correct-year schedules and related instructions, go to this listing and print the schedules and instructions of the form year that corresponds to the plan year for which you are filing.
IMPORTANT: Do not send any penalty payments associated with a delinquent filing to EFAST2. Penalty payments to the IRS or made under the Department’s Delinquent Filer Voluntary Compliance (DFVC) Program must be submitted separately in accordance with the applicable requirement.

“THANK YOU!!!! We want to thank you very much for the great work you did on our Form 5500 filing. You made the process painless. You were fast and efficient and you even got it filed before our deadline.”
“What a mess we had… Great job sorting through it all. Thank you for all of your hard work on our Form 5500 filing and plan document.
“I have worked with Benefits Compliance Consultants for about 18 months now. They made it so easy for me to learn about Form 5500’s so that I in turn could educate my clients about this important part of our industry. From the very first client they impressed not only us at Ameriflex, but our clients, with their expertise. I have been able to use their Form 5500 filing services product as a stepping stone to sell other products. While initially I acted as a middle man between their company and our client, I quickly built so much trust in them that I now refer people directly to them without hesitation. Just recently, they bent over backwards to assist one of my brokers out (during the busy season, no less), and it helped this client get out of a really tight spot. As the complexities and Form 5500 filing fees mounted for this client, they made sure that all parties were kept abreast of exactly what was going on with everything. Bottom line: I would recommend anyone to Benefits Compliance Consultants for help with their or their clients’ ERISA needs.
