Worksheet for Code § 105(h) Nondiscrimination Tests Now Available

December 17, 2010

Introduction

For Plan Years beginning after September 23, 2010, nongrandfathered insured health plans must pass the nondiscrimination tests under Code Section 105(h) or the employer may be penalized. These tests include a Benefits Test and an Eligibility Test.

In order to conduct these tests, the employer must collect information regarding the insured health plans offered to employees, individuals employed. employees covered, the details of various plan features, employees excluded from coverage and the businesses included in its controlled group.

Code Section 105(h) Nondiscrimination Testing Worksheet

To assist in collecting all of the above information and conducting the Benefits Test and the Eligibility Test, I have created a nine page worksheet that creates a guide in what information is needed and how to conduct the tests. It also provides step by step directions with a series of questions and answers.

The completion of this Worksheet is important because it provides evidence of the completion of the tests in case of an IRS audit. It also provides an early warning of any problems in passing the tests.

This worksheet will be updated at no cost when the IRS provides any new guidance. In addition, if you order the worksheet, I will answer any questions.
