title: "ERISA Form 5500 Schedule Validator"
description: "Validates a Form 5500 schedule-applicability matrix (plan type and size determine required schedules H/I/A/C/G/MB/SB/R), a Schedule H cross-schedule arithmetic tie (ending assets equal beginning assets plus net income minus distributions), and the filing-deadline calculation (plan-year end plus seven months, with the Form 5558 two-and-a-half-month extension). This is form-lint -- structural schedule applicability and arithmetic -- not retirement or plan-design advice; it sits in the compliance-mechanics lane of the options-shelf constraint, not the advice lane. Part of the record-integrity family alongside lint_metro2_record (art-398), lint_x12_claim_records (art-399), and check_official_statement_completeness (art-400)."
