Catch up on this week's : DFVCP Special Filing

In a recent call with an advisor, the following was asked: “My client is a small IRC §501(c)(3) organization with an ERISA 403(b) plan. We discovered they missed several years of Form 5500 filings. Money is tight for the organization. Can it correct the failed filings under the DFVCP without facing massive penalties?”
