The DOL's FAQ on DFVCP does not make it very clear about mailing in a check and sending in a signed copy of the 5500, in lieu of online payment for late filing of a MP plan's 2008 and 2009 5500.

It appears I can still do it this way. The client mailed me a check for $1,500. Would I just send signed copies of the signed return, plus the check to:

DFVCP
P.O. Box 71361
Philadelphia, PA 19176-1361

I want to avoid having to return the check to the client. Thanks !

Submissions to the DFVCP can be done electronically and via paper. The address you have above is correct, see:
