1 Waist deep in the administration of 403(b) plans, we have been thrown into a whirlpool of new regulations and reporting requirements that leaves your head spinning. As plan sponsors are realizing, collecting the data required for the new 403(b) reporting requirements may not be easy. Many are wondering - "Why not just turn my 403(b) into a 401(k)?" That's a very good question. Is there a difference anymore? To aid you in answering these questions, we have created a comparison chart outlining the differences between a 401(k) plan, a 403(b) plan, and a 403(b) (9) plan. For more information you may contact the New Business Department of Benefit Resources, Inc. at , or visit our website at resources.com. Overview Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code governs retirement plans for employees of certain tax-exempt organization, public educational organizations, and churches. 403(b) regulations were finalized by the IRS on July 23, Most of the new regulations required compliance beginning in In general, the new regulations narrow the difference between 401(k) and 403(b) plans, making 403(b) plans much more like their 401(k) cousins. ERISA vs. non-erisa plans 403(b) plans without employer contributions, or those sponsored by governmental employers or churches will not automatically be subject to ERISA. This chart was prepared to help illustrate the differences between the various plans Eligible Employers All types of entities except State and Local governments Entities exempt from tax under 501(c)(3) Churches exempt from taxes under 501(a)
