Ascensus' forms and documents are constantly monitored to accommodate changes brought about by new tax laws and regulatory changes – and, equally important, to respond to your requests and needs. This Forms Checklist provides you with the date of the most current version of the designated form or document. Versions which are technically inaccurate because of subsequent law changes or IRS pronouncements are listed in the column entitled "Obsolete Version." If no date appears in the obsolete column, all existing versions may be used. This checklist will be updated periodically.
If you need assistance, contact a Customer Service Representative at 800-346-3860, option 2, suboption 1.

Key | |

B | Include use for managed and self-directed trust accounts. |
C | Versions dated 1/2009 through 10/2020 require a disclosure statement amendment; strongly recommend the current version. |
D | Any prior to 10/2014 are obsolete unless accompanied by the appropriate disclosure statement amendment; strongly recommend the current version. |
E | Any prior to 5/2012 are obsolete unless accompanied by the appropriate disclosure statement amendment; strongly recommend the current version. |
Versions prior to 4/2008 should be used with caution regarding automatic rollovers to inherited IRAs. | |
Versions prior to 4/2006 should not be used for Roth IRAs. | |
Versions prior to 1/2007 should not be used to request or to certify a rollover of inherited retirement plan assets into an inherited IRA. | |
Versions prior to 4/2008 should be used with caution regarding rollovers of designated Roth contributions. | |
* | Prior to the 11/2022 update, prototype SEP and SIMPLE IRA plan forms and documents were maintained separately. Now, all the forms that collectively made up the former plan establishment “kits” are maintained within single item booklets. While each form within the booklets retains its individual item number and revision date, an update to any form whereby the prior revision is deemed obsolete deems the entire booklet obsolete. Any remaining prototype SEP and SIMPLE IRA kits/standalone forms should be used with caution. |
** | This form, also found in the Form 600 Prototype SIMPLE IRA Plan Establishment Booklet allows you to efficiently provide the most current form to your adopting employers so that they can distribute their required annual notice to participating employees using current forms. |
*** | Versions prior to 2/2024 (that are not obsolete) do not include an option on the form to select a 529 plan (qualified tuition plan) to Roth IRA rollover as a Roth IRA contribution type; recommend the current version. |
