The guidance includes a model letter that may be used for this purpose.  \n􀂾 The plan administrator or IRA trustee may rely on the self-certification unless they have actual knowledge to the contrary. The taxpayer may report the contribution as a valid rollover unless otherwise informed by the IRS.  \n􀂾 The new guidance is effective on August 24, 2016.  \nThe Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has released Revenue Procedures 2016-47 providing guidance for participants to selfcertify the waiver of the 60-day rollover requirement for distributions from qualified plans and IRAs. No IRS filing to request the waiver is needed when certain conditions are met.  \nBackground-A cash distribution from a qualified plan (e.g., a 401(k) plan) or IRA to a participant will be excluded from income if it is rolled over to another qualified plan or IRA not later than 60 days after the participant receives the check. A similar rule applies to 403(a), 403(b) and 457 eligible governmental plans.  \nThe Internal Revenue Code and regulations describe certain circumstances under which the plan administrator may rely on certain certifications and documentation from the distributing plan that the rollover is valid and is being made no later than 60 days after it was received. The regulations also include examples of this.  \nThe rules provide that the Secretary of the Treasury may waive the 60-day rollover requirement under certain circumstances where failure to waive such requirements would be against equity or good conscience, including casualty, disaster or other events beyond the reasonable control of the individual. The 60-day requirement may also be postponed for service in a combat zone or a Presidentially declared disaster or aterroristic or military action.  \nWhen such events occur causing the taxpayer to fail to meet the 60-day deadline, existing guidance allows the taxpayer to apply to the IRS for a waiver of the 60-day rollover requirement. The guidance includes an automatic approval of a waiver request in certain circumstances where the failure to meet the 60-day requirement was due to an error on the part of a financial institution.  \nNew self-certification guidance – The new guidance under Revenue Procedure 2016-47 now permits the taxpayer to make a written self-certification to the plan administrator or IRA trustee that the failure to meet the 60-day requirement meets one of the conditions listed below. The IRS provides a model letter that may be used for this purpose. Alternatively the individual may provide a letter that is substantially similar to the model in all material respects. Revenue Procedure 2016-47 and additional information regarding rollovers is available on the IRS website at  \n[https://www.irs.gov/uac/new-procedure-helps-people](https://www.irs.gov/uac/new-procedure-helps-people)making-ira-and-retirement-plan-rollovers .
