Filing Form 5500-EZ on paper with the IRS:  
Use the online, fillable 2023 Form 5500-EZ on the IRS website.  
Complete and download the form to your computer to print and

ink. Be sure to enter your information in the specific line fields  
provided; sign and date the form before mailing.

paper. One-sided documents should have no markings on the  
blank side.  
General Instructions  
Purpose of Form  
Form 5500-EZ is used by one-participant plans and foreign plans  
that are not subject to the requirements of section 104(a) of the  
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  
• Do not use glue or other sticky substances on the paper. Paper

Mail Form 5500-EZ for plan year 2023 to the IRS office in  
Ogden, Utah, to be processed. See Where To File in these  
instructions.  
Note. A one-participant plan or a foreign plan (as defined under  
Who Must File Form 5500-EZ) cannot file an annual return on  
Form 5500, Annual Return/Report of Employee Benefit Plan,  
or Form 5500-SF, Short Form Annual Return/Report of Small  
Employee Benefit Plan, regardless of whether the plan previously  
filed an annual return on Form 5500 or Form 5500-SF. Therefore,  
every one-participant plan or a foreign plan required to file an  
annual return must either file paper Form 5500-EZ with the IRS  
or electronically file Form 5500-EZ using the EFAST2 Filing  
System.  
Filing Form 5500-EZ electronically using the EFAST2 filing  
system:  
File online using EFAST2’s web-based filing system or  
• File through an EFAST2-approved vendor.  
Who Must File Form 5500-EZ  
You must file Form 5500-EZ for a retirement plan if the plan is  
a one-participant plan or a foreign plan that is required to file an  
annual return under section 6058(a).  
Detailed information on electronic filing is available on the  
EFAST2 website at www.efast.dol.gov.  
Phone Help  
A one-participant plan means a retirement plan (that is, a defined  
benefit pension plan or a defined contribution profit-sharing or  
money purchase pension plan), other than an Employee Stock  
Ownership Plan (ESOP), which:  
1. Covers only you (or you and your spouse) and you (or  
you and your spouse) own the entire business (which may be  
incorporated or unincorporated); or  
If you have questions and need help in completing this form,  
please call the IRS Help Desk at 877-829-5500. If you have  
questions concerning electronic filing under the EFAST2 filing  
system, call the EFAST2 Help Desk at 1-866-GO-EFAST (1-  
866-463-3278). These toll-free telephone services are available  
Monday through Friday.  
2. Covers only one or more partners (or partners and their  
spouses) in a business partnership (treating 2% shareholder of  
an S corporation, as defined in IRC §1372(b), as a partner); and  
February 1, 2024  
Catalog Number 63264C  
   
3. Does not provide benefits for anyone except you (or you  
and your spouse) or one or more partners (or partners and their  
spouses).  
Electronic filing. Effective for plan years beginning after 2019, a  
filer can file Form 5500-EZ electronically using the EFAST2 filing  
system. See EFAST2 Filing System in these instructions.  
A one-participant plan must file an annual return unless the  
plan meets the conditions for not filing under Who Does Not Have  
Mandatory electronic filing. A filer must file the Form 5500-EZ  
electronically using the EFAST2 Filing System instead of filing a  
paper Form 5500-EZ with the IRS if the filer is required to file at  
least 250 returns of any type with the IRS, including information  
returns (for example, Forms W-2 and Forms 1099), income tax  
returns, employment tax returns, and excise tax returns, during  
the calendar year that includes the first day of the applicable plan  
year. If a filer is required to file a Form 5500-EZ electronically but  
does not, the filer is considered to have not filed the form even if  
a paper Form 5500-EZ is submitted. See Treasury Regulations  
section 301.6058-2 for more information on mandatory electronic  
filing of employee retirement benefit plan returns. The IRS may  
waive the requirements to file Form 5500-EZ electronically in  
cases of undue economic hardship. For information on filing  
a request for a hardship waiver, see “Recent Developments”  
under “About Form 5500-EZ” available at https://www.irs.gov.  
A foreign plan means a pension plan that is maintained outside  
the United States primarily for nonresident aliens.  
A foreign plan is required to file an annual return if the  
employer who maintains the plan is:  
A domestic employer, or  
A foreign employer with income derived from sources within  
the United States (including foreign subsidiaries of domestic  
employers) if contributions to the plan are deducted on its U.S.  
income tax return.  
Do not file an annual return for a plan that is a qualified foreign  
plan within the meaning of section 404A(e) that does not  
qualify for the treatment provided in section 402(d).  
!
CAUTION  
Note. If you are not eligible to file the Form 5500-EZ for a plan  
that is subject to the reporting requirements in section 104 of  
ERISA, you must electronically file Form 5500 or, if eligible, Form  
5500-SF.  
EFAST2 Filing System  
A one-participant plan and a foreign plan can satisfy their filing  
obligation under the Code by filing Form 5500-EZ electronically  
under the EFAST2 filing system in place of filing Form 5500-EZ  
on paper with the IRS.  
Who Does Not Have To File  
Form 5500-EZ  
Under EFAST2, you must electronically file the 2023 Forms  
5500 and 5500-SF using EFAST2’s web-based filing system or  
you may file through an EFAST2-approved vendor. The 2023  
Form 5500-EZ can also be electronically filed using the EFAST2  
filing system or filed on paper with the IRS. For more information  
about electronic filing, see the EFAST2 website at www.efast.  
dol.gov. For telephone assistance, call the EFAST2 Help Desk at  
1-866-GO-EFAST (1-866-463-3278). The EFAST2 Help Desk is  
available Monday through Friday.  
You do not have to file Form 5500-EZ for the 2023 plan year for a  
one-participant plan if the total of the plan’s assets and the assets  
of all other one-participant plans maintained by the employer at  
the end of the 2023 plan year does not exceed $250,000, unless  
2023 is the final plan year of the plan. For more information on  
final plan years, see Final Return, later.  
Example. If a plan meets all the requirements for filing Form  
5500-EZ and its total assets (either alone or in combination with  
one or more one-participant plans maintained by the employer)  
exceed $250,000 at the end of the 2023 plan year, Form 5500-  
EZ must be filed for each of the employer’s one-participant plans  
including those with less than $250,000 in assets for the 2023  
plan year.  
Note (1). A filer must file Form 5500-EZ electronically instead of  
filing Form 5500-EZ on paper if the filer is required to file at least  
250 returns of any type with the IRS during the calendar year.  
See How To File for more information.  
Note (2). If a filer is not subject to the IRS mandatory electronic  
filing requirement under Treasury Regulations section  
301.6058-2, a filer may elect to file Form 5500-EZ electronically  
using the EFAST2 filing system. Information filed on Form  
5500-EZ is required to be made available to the public. However,  
the information for a one-participant plan or a foreign plan,  
whether filed electronically with EFAST2 or filed on paper, will not  
be published on the internet.  
Note. You should use the total plan assets as listed as of the end  
of the plan year on line 6a(2) of this form to determine whether  
the plan(s) assets exceed $250,000. If an employer maintains  
one or more one-participant plans, the total assets of all one-  
participant plans combined must be counted towards the amount  
of $250,000.  
How To File  
What To File  
Paper forms for filing. The 2023 Form 5500-EZ may be filed  
on paper. File the official IRS printed Form 5500-EZ or the  
downloadable form found on the IRS website; or use approved  
software, if available.  
Plans required to file an annual return for one-participant (owners  
and their spouses) retirement plans or foreign plans may file  
Form 5500-EZ in accordance with its instructions. Filers of Form  
5500-EZ are not required to file schedules or attachments related  
to Form 5500 with the 2023 Form 5500-EZ. However, you must  
collect and retain for your records completed Schedule MB  
(Form 5500), Multiemployer Defined Benefit Plan and Certain  
Money Purchase Plan Actuarial Information, if applicable,  
and completed and signed Schedule SB (Form 5500), Single-  
Employer Defined Benefit Plan Actuarial Information, if  
applicable. Even though you do not have to file the Schedule  
MB (Form 5500) or Schedule SB (Form 5500) with the 2023  
Form 5500-EZ, you are still required to both perform an annual  
valuation and maintain the funding records associated with plan  
funding in the same manner as a plan for which the applicable  
schedule must be filed.  
You can complete the online, fillable 2023 Form 5500-EZ found  
on the IRS website and download it to your computer to print and  
sign before mailing to the address specified in these instructions.  
You can obtain the official IRS printed 2023 Form 5500-EZ  
from the IRS to complete by hand with pen or typewriter using  
blue or black ink. Entries should not exceed the lines provided  
on the form. Abbreviate if necessary. Paper forms are available  
from the IRS as discussed earlier in How To Get Forms and  
Instructions for Form 5500-EZ (2023)  
-2-  
     
Eligible combined plans. The Pension Protection Act of  
2006 established rules for a new type of pension plan, an  
“eligible combined plan,” effective for plan years beginning after  
December 31, 2009. An eligible combined plan consists of a  
defined benefit plan and a defined contribution plan that includes  
a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under section 401(k).  
The assets of the two plans are held in a single trust, but clearly  
identified and allocated between plans. The eligible combined  
plan design is available only to employers that:  
• Employed an average of at least 2, but no more than 500,  
employees on business days during the calendar year prior to the  
establishment of the eligible combined plan; and  
Employ at least 2 employees on the first day of the plan year  
that the plan is established.  
Specific Instructions  
Part I – Annual Return Identification  
Information  
Enter the calendar or fiscal year beginning and ending dates of  
the plan year (not to exceed 12 months in length) for which you  
are reporting information. Express the date in numerical month,  
day, and year in the following order “MM/DD/YYYY” (for example,  
“01/01/2023”).  
For a plan year of less than 12 months (short plan year), insert  
the short plan year beginning and ending dates on the line  
provided at the top of the form. For purposes of this form, the  
short plan year ends on the date of the change in accounting  
period or the complete distribution of the plan’s assets.  
Because an eligible combined plan includes both a defined  
benefit plan and a defined contribution plan, the Form 5500-EZ  
filed for the plan must include all the information that would be  
required for either a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution  
plan.  
First Return  
Check box A(1) if this is the first filing for this plan. Do not  
check this box if you have ever filed for this plan, even if it was a  
different form (for example, Form 5500).  
Note. The 2023 Schedule MB (Form 5500) and the 2023  
Schedule SB (Form 5500) are available only electronically  
from the Department of Labor website at www.efast.dol.gov.  
You can complete the schedules online and print them out for  
your records. If you are a Form 5500-EZ filer, do not attempt to  
electronically file the Schedule MB or Schedule SB related to  
your 2023 Form 5500-EZ filing.  
Amended Return  
Check box A(2) if you are filing an amended Form 5500-EZ  
to correct errors and/or omissions in a previously filed annual  
return for the 2023 plan year. The amended Form 5500-EZ must  
conform to the requirements under the How To File section,  
earlier.  
If you are filing an amended return for a one-participant plan  
or a foreign plan that previously filed electronically using Form  
5500-SF or Form 5500-EZ, you must submit the amended return  
electronically using the prior-year Form 5500-EZ for amending  
returns originally filed for the prior years or use the current-year  
Form 5500-EZ for amending returns filed for the current year or  
returns originally filed older than 3-years. Do Not use Form 5500-  
SF for an amended return of a one-participant plan or a foreign  
plan, even if you previously filed using Form 5500-SF.  
When To File  
File the 2023 return for plan years that started in 2023. Form  
5500-EZ must be filed by the last day of the 7th calendar month  
after the end of the plan year that began in 2023 (not to exceed  
12 months in length).  
Note. If the filing due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal  
holiday, the return may be filed on the next day that is not a  
Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.  
If you are filing an amended return for a one-participant plan or  
a foreign plan that was previously filed on a paper Form 5500-  
EZ, you must submit the amended return using the paper Form  
5500-EZ with the IRS.

(box A(1) or A(3)).  
The PDS can tell you how to get written proof of the mailing  
date.  
Private delivery services use the following address:  
Internal Revenue Submission Processing Center 1973

for their final plan year indicating that all assets have been  
distributed.  
Who Must Sign  
The plan administrator or employer (owner) must sign and date

Check box A(3) if all assets under the plan(s) (including  
insurance/annuity contracts) have been distributed to the  
participants and beneficiaries or distributed or transferred to  
another plan. The final plan year is the year in which distribution  
of all plan assets is completed.  
Penalties  
Section 6652(e) imposes a penalty of $250 a day (up to a  
maximum penalty of $150,000 per plan year) for not filing returns

required due date.  
Instructions for Form 5500-EZ (2023)  
-3-  
   
An applicant under the program must print in red letters in  
the top margin above the Form 5500-EZ’s title on the first page  
of the return: “Delinquent Return Submitted under Rev. Proc.  
2015-32, Eligible for Penalty Relief.” A filer who checks box D and  
submits the delinquent 2023 Form 5500-EZ under the program  
is not required to also mark the return as described in Rev. Proc.  
2015-32. However, the return must still be marked as described  
in Rev. Proc. 2015-32 for delinquent returns for years that have  
no box D available. Please be aware that each submission  
under the program must include a completed paper copy of Form  
14704 attached to the front of the oldest delinquent return in the  
submission. Form 14704 can be found at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-  
pdf/f14704.pdf. See Rev. Proc. 2015-32, 2015-24 1063, for more  
information.  
Extension of Time To File  
Using Form 5558  
If filing under an extension of time based on the filing of a Form  
5558, Application for Extension of Time To File Certain Employee  
Plan Returns, do not attach Form 5558 to your Form 5500-EZ.  
Check the “Form 5558” box in Part I, line B. A one-time extension  
of time to file Form 5500-EZ (up to 2½ months) may be obtained  
by filing Form 5558 on or before the normal due date (not  
including any extensions) of the return. You must file Form 5558  
with the IRS.  
Approved copies of the Form 5558 will not be returned to the  
filer. A copy of the completed extension request must be retained  
with the plan’s records.  
See the instructions for Form 5558 and file paper Form 5558  
with the Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service  
Center, Ogden, UT 84201-0045.  
A retroactively adopted plan as permitted by  
SECURE Act section 201  
Check this box E if the plan sponsor adopted the plan during  
the 2023 plan year (i.e., by the due date, including extension,  
for filing the plan sponsor’s tax return for the 2022 taxable year)  
and elected to treat the plan as having been adopted before the  
2023 plan year began (i.e., at the close as of the last day of the  
sponsor’s taxable year) as permitted by section 201 of the Setting  
Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act of 2019  
(SECURE ACT). Plans in this situation are not required to file  
a 2022 Form 5500-EZ. However, if the plan is a defined benefit  
pension plan, the enrolled actuary must complete and sign the  
2022 Schedule SB (Form 5500) in addition to the 2023 Schedule  
SB (Form 5500) and the plan sponsor must retain both Schedule  
SBs for its records. Please see Instructions for Schedule SB for  
more information.  
Note. Line A of the Form 5558 asks for “Name of filer, plan  
administrator, or plan sponsor.” The name of the plan sponsor is  
generally the same as the employer name for a one-participant  
plan.  
Using Extension of Time To File Federal Income  
Tax Return  
Filers are automatically granted an extension of time to file Form  
5500-EZ until the extended due date of the federal income tax  
return of the employer (and are not required to file Form 5558) if  
all of the following conditions are met.  
1. The plan year and the employer’s tax year are the same;  
2. The employer has been granted an extension of time to file  
its federal income tax return to a date later than the normal due  
date for filing the Form 5500-EZ; and  
3. A copy of the application for extension of time to file the  
federal income tax return is retained with the plan’s records.  
Part II – Basic Plan Information  
Line 1a. Enter the formal name of the plan.  
Line 1b. Enter the three-digit plan number (PN) that the employer  
assigned to the plan. Plans should be numbered consecutively  
starting with 001. Once a plan number is used for a plan, it must

plan, and this number may not be used for any other plan even  
after the plan is terminated.  
Be sure to check the “automatic extension” box in Part I, line  
B. at the top of the form. An extension granted by using this  
exception cannot be extended further by filing a Form 5558 after  
the normal due date (without extension) of Form 5500-EZ.  
Other Extensions of Time  
The IRS may announce special extensions of time under certain  
circumstances, such as extensions for Presidentially-declared  
disasters or for service in, or in support of, the Armed Forces  
of the United States in a combat zone. If you are relying on  
one of these announced special extensions, check the “special  
extension” box on the Form 5500-EZ, Part I, line B, and enter a  
description of the announced authority for the extension.

your business mailing address, your business location, or the  
identity of your responsible party.  
Late Filer Penalty Relief Program  
The IRS Late Filer Penalty Relief Program for late annual  
reporting for non-Title I retirement plans (one-participant plans  
and certain foreign plans) provides administrative relief to plan  
administrators and plan sponsors from the penalties otherwise  
applicable under sections 6652(e) and 6692 for failing to timely  
comply with the annual reporting requirements imposed under  
sections 6047(e), 6058, and 6059. Rev. Proc. 2015-32 requires

a favorable opinion letter that is made available by a Provider  
for adoption by employers, including a standardized plan or a  
nonstandardized plan. A Pre-approved Plan may utilize either of  
two forms: a basic plan document with an adoption agreement or  
a single plan document. The employer is permitted to make minor  
modifications to the plan. An “Adopting Employer” is an employer  
that adopts a Pre-approved Plan offered by a Provider, including  
a plan that is word-for-word identical to, or a minor modification  
of, a plan of a Mass Submitter. If a plan was modified in such a  
way that negates the Opinion Letter, then the plan sponsor is  
no longer an Adopting Employer of a Pre-approved Plan, and  
the plan is treated as an individually designed plan. An “Opinion  
Letter” is a written statement issued by the IRS to a Provider or  
Mass Submitter as an opinion on the qualification in form of a  
plan under Code section 401(a), Code section 403(a), or both  
Code sections 401 or 403(a) and 4975(e)(7). See Revenue
