Over this past summer, the Surface Transportation and Veterans Health Care Choice Improvement Act of 2015 (the “Surface Transportation Act”) included a provision that extended by a month the automatic extension that is available to Form 5500-series filers, to be effective with the filing of the 2016 returns. (See our Legal Alert dated September 9, 2015.) Whether you appreciated it or not, that extension was short-lived, and has now been repealed before even taking effect.
