In an effort to improve transparency, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (PBGC) and the Department of Labor (DOL) have published final regulations that require that all 403(b) Plans subject to ERISA file the same schedules as is the case for other plans subject to ERISA such as 401(a) and 401(k) Plans including Schedule C.
