Internal Revenue Code Sections Affecting Employee Benefit Plans


Note: These sections, which are a portion of the United States Code, are published online by the Legal Information Institute (an independent project funded by Cornell Law School). They are said to be generated from the most recent version of the U.S. Code that's been made available by the U.S. House of Representatives Office of the Law Revision Counsel. Also see the Classification Tables published by the House, which show where recently enacted laws will appear in the United States Code, and which sections of the Code have been amended by those laws.
