Form 14568-H: Schedule 8, Failure to Pay Required Minimum Distributions Timely
Form 14568-H is Schedule 8 of the Model VCP Compliance Statement. It describes a retirement plan failure under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code: the form says required minimum distributions (RMD) were not paid in a timely manner or were less than what was required.
The form is written for the plan's Applicant and plan sponsor, not for plan participants. It identifies the failure by year, sets out the proposed correction for a defined contribution or defined benefit plan, asks whether relief from the Section 4974 excise tax is requested, explains how the failure arose and lists the enclosures.
The form says not to use it if plan benefits did not start in a timely manner at the plan's normal retirement age or upon the participant's death; then a written narrative goes with Form 14568 instead. You can fill out the PDF free in your browser on this page and download it without an account.

Where it goes and what goes with it
Part of a VCP submission
The form names the Procedural Requirements Checklist for Form 8950 and says the plan sponsor encloses the listed items with the submission. The form prints no mailing address of its own.
Lump sum restriction
If the defined benefit plan is subject to a Section 436(d) restriction, the form says the plan sponsor contributes, at the time of correction, an amount equal to the corrective distribution.
No instructions on the form
The form has no separate instructions. For the Paperwork Reduction Act notice it points to the current EPCRS Revenue Procedure.
