Who is responsible for keeping track of the designated Roth contributions and 5-taxable-year period?
The plan administrator is responsible for keeping track of the amount of designated Roth contributions made for each employee and the date of the first designated Roth contribution for calculating an employee’s 5-taxable-year period.
