Purpose of Form
Form 5305-SA is a model custodial account
agreement that meets the requirements of
sections 408(a) and 408(p) and has been
pre-approved by the IRS. A SIMPLE individual
retirement account (SIMPLE IRA) is

both the individual (participant) and the
custodian. This account must be created in
the United States for the exclusive benefit of
the participant and his or her beneficiaries.
Do not file Form 5305-SA with the IRS.
Instead, keep it with your records.

custodian must give the participant, see

(IRAs).
