The IRS issued Notice 2007-86 to extend the transition relief period for nonqualified deferred compensation plans to comply with Section 409A. Prior to this extension, plans faced a deadline of Dec. 31, 2007, to complete certain tasks. This deadline has now been extended by one year to Dec. 31, 2008, and applies to the following tasks:

  • Amend the plan to bring it into compliance with Section 409A, and
  • Obtain employees’ elections as to the time and form of plan payments.
