Form 14568-F: Model VCP Compliance Statement, Schedule 6 Employer Eligibility Failure
Form 14568-F is Schedule 6 of the IRS Model VCP Compliance Statement. It covers an employer eligibility failure in 401(k) and 403(b) plans only: a plan meant to be a 403(b) plan that was adopted by a sponsor that was not a tax-exempt organization described in IRC Section 501(c)(3) or a public educational organization described in IRC Section 170(b)(1)(A)(ii), or a plan meant to include a 401(k) arrangement that was adopted by an employer that did not meet the eligibility requirements to establish one.
The statement is completed for the plan, not by plan participants. Each page carries the plan name, the applicant's employer identification number (EIN) and the plan number. It identifies the failure, sets out the proposed method of correction, and explains the change in administrative procedures. The form refers to the VCP submission filed with the IRS and, for Paperwork Reduction Act information, to the current EPCRS Revenue Procedure.
