If Guideline is your 401(k) administrator, we’ll take care of preparing your plan’s Form 5500 if your plan started with Guideline and has had contributions in that calendar year, as well as all future years. Our Customer Success team will reach out if we need any additional information from you. Offering your employees a 401(k) is one thing. But you’ll also have to submit annual reports to the federal government. Enter the Form 5500, an annual report required by the federal government about employee benefits plans. There’s a lot that goes into completing the Form 5500, with its 27 pages of instructions. This is why so many employers rely on their 401(k) plan administrator to get the job done on time.
