The IRS has announced that the third six-year remedial amendment cycle for pre-approved defined benefit plans begins on May 1, 2020, and ends on Jan. 31, 2025. It also has announced that the on-cycle submission period for providers to submit opinion letter applications begins on Aug. 1, 2020 and ends on July 31, 2021. The announcements are contained in Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc.) 2020-10.
