With respect to the tax requirements for qualified plans, an ERPA must have a working knowledge of:

• Plan document requirements;
• Plan operation and administration;
• Filing requirements (Form 5500); and
• IRS programs (for example, the Determination Letter program and the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System).
