This chapter is for employees who need information about savings incentive match plans for employees (SIMPLE plans). It explains what a SIMPLE plan
is, contributions to a SIMPLE plan, and distributions from a SIMPLE plan.
Under a SIMPLE plan, SIMPLE retirement accounts for participating employees can be set up either as:
- Part of a 401(k) plan, or
- A plan using IRAs (SIMPLE IRA).
This chapter only discusses the SIMPLE plan rules that relate to SIMPLE IRAs. See Publication 560
for information on any special rules for
SIMPLE plans that do not use IRAs.
If your employer maintains a SIMPLE plan, you must be notified, in writing, that you can choose the financial institution that will serve as
trustee for your SIMPLE IRA and that you can roll over or transfer your SIMPLE IRA to another financial institution. See Rollovers and Transfers
Exception, later.
