The “Combined Test” is a series of tests that includes the 415 Annual Additions Test, 410(b) Coverage Test, Deduction Limit test and the Compensation Test (as applicable to the plan).

Set Combined Test Parameters

Clicking on "Combined Test Parameters" from the Compliance Menu page, will take you to the "Combined Testing Parameters" screen. Here you can enter details about how the Combined Tests should be handled in the plan.

On the "Combined Testing Parameters" screen there are a number of options regarding Aggregation/Disaggregation that will apply to the ADP/ACP tests and the General Test as well as those covered under the Combined Test. These answers will be displayed in the ADP/ACP and General Test Parameters screen but can only be modified in the Combined Test Parameters. For step-by-step instructions on aggregation or disaggregation, please see the Special Topics section.
