Human resource managers call us up a lot at FreeERISA. One of the more common things we hear is, “Our last HR manager just won the lottery and moved to Mexico. I’m trying to sort through all of the old paperwork, and I can’t figure out if we filed our 5500! Can you help?”

The short answer is that we usually can help you track down any old filings your predecessor may have submitted prior to moving to Mexico (or Boca Raton, or Antarctica, or Mars), but if the answer ends up being that he/she was less than diligent, then you have no choice but to submit one or more late filings. With the DOL’s upgrade to electronic filing in 2009, you can’t just dig up an old 5500 from 10 years ago and assume that it will go through.
