Has anyone gone through their employer having a 401K audit? Curious about what this means. Is this something I should be concerned about?
Typically required for any plan with 100 or more eligible participants.
If a company's 401K plan does not have participation from multiple income levels, it can lose its 401K status. In other words, the IRS is trying to keep upper management from having a 401K plan that only benefits them, not the mid / lower level employees.
Found out what this meant this morning. Looks like I'm getting most of my 2016 401k contributions back.Quote:

Getting back, half of my money. Didn't over contribute, but I typically try to make sure I hit the max limit every year.Quote:

Principle which is absolutely worth less, luckily I still have my own Fidelity, from my previous employersQuote:
