The Form 5500 instructions, however, specifically provide that plan sponsors should not complete these questions for the 2015 plan year filing.

(There were also changes made to the due dates of various other tax returns, but those changes are beyond the scope of this Alert; you may contact the author if you would like additional information regarding those changes as well.)
