Use this checklist to determine which retirement plans can use pre-approved plan documents to satisfy the requirements for preferential tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.). The IRS maintains preapproved plan programs pursuant to Rev. Proc. 2023-37, (1) for retirement plans described in I.R.C. § 401(a) (qualified plans), and (2) for annuity contracts or custodial accounts described in I.R.C. § 403(b) (403(b) plans). The programs available for pre-approved plans are different depending on the type of plan and the type of employer.
