I have been notified our plan administrator is going to refund some of my pre-tax 401K contributions due to the out-of-balance on the anti-discrimination test. I just checked IRS Publication 525 and this refund will be considered income for the year 2005 since the distribution will be within 2.5 months of the end of the plan year.
My question is (and I can't seem to find this on the IRS website) - since I didn't use any of my catch-up contributions in 2005, can I request the plan administrator to flow the overage to the 2005 catch-up, therefore nullifying the refund?
Thanks.
