The Internal Revenue Service has been actively auditing the TSA/403(b)
programs of public school districts for several years, and has indicated
that the audits will continue until IRS Field Examiners routinely find
that employers have compliance practices and procedures in place. Thus
it's important that school business officials actively pursue compliance
initiatives.
It's equally important that compliance practices and procedures be amended to reflect the substantial changes contained in the Economic Growth and Tax Relief and Reconciliation Act of 2001 (EGTRRA) and subsequent IRS guidance.
The second edition of the Section 403(b) Compliance Guide includes the new Roth 403(b) and severance pay rules, post-EGTRRA compliance programs, and all available regulatory changes as of June 30, 2005. It's designed to help busy officials and their staff update already-established compliance programs, which will substantially reduce the impact of an IRS audit.
