    There is zero consumer support for fincen. The 703 number has been dissolved and folded into a 1-800 number that does not answer. Don't bother sending an email ticket requesting assistance because they'll just direct you to the website. You know for an organization that has the authority to fine you over $500 a day you would think they would be required by law to provide some sort of verification of your successful registration other than an email response to automatically generated. The only way you can check is by their database which allegedly only updates every several weeks. It's an absolute disgrace joke of an organization with pathetic consumer assistance.

      Reporting companies may request a FinCEN identifier by checking a box on the beneficial ownership information report when they submit the report. After the reporting company submits the report, the reporting company will immediately receive a FinCEN identifier unique to that company. If a reporting company wishes to request a FinCEN identifier after submitting its initial beneficial ownership report, it may submit an updated beneficial ownership information report requesting a FinCEN identifier, even if the company does not otherwise need to update its information

    The functional differentiator should be whether they are being used by the same ownership group to compartmentalize liability only (i.e., a fixed real estate investment group that is spinning up a new LLC for each shopping mall / rental property / etc. as the portfolio grows) or if they are being used to raise capital from varied sources (i.e., investor group in Series 1 LLC differs from investor group in Series 2 LLC ... this is what would be the case of series LLC's used as securitization vehicles). Problem is FinCEN hasn't come out and said this, so Joe Smith, who owns and rents 12 condos in seperate Series LLC's and bought into the idea because it saved him some paperwork, now has to be advised that there is risk in filing only one BOI report.

      It’s possible that the attorney will not respond to you at all because you are not their client. That said, you may want to have your own attorney review the situation with you to determine what is happening.

    Does a Grantor Trust where the grantor pays taxes on the trust during his lifetime get step-up basis benefits after the grantor dies ?

    • @strohmeyerlawpllc
      @strohmeyerlawpllc 2 місяці тому

      It will depend on the trust agreement because paying the income tax on the trust as the grantor is not the test for getting a basis step-up. It's possible to set up grantor trusts that either do get the basis step-up or don't get the basis step-up. You'll need to work with your own advisors to get an answer for your specific situation.

      @@strohmeyerlawpllc Thank you for answering the question. Would love to see you do a video showing what is the test for a Grantor Trust. I wonder if one of the test for step-up basis might be the revocability of the trust?

    If as a beneficiary you feel like the administrator or the executor left you out, you always can go at the court and ask for updates, you as beneficiary are actually the superviser of the executor or administrator, you are entitled to updates in regards banking accounts, inventory. The estate has to have a separate account where all the cut is coming to be shared. Within a probate there is 3 months maximum of the distribution to be done after the property is sold. If the administrator or the executor is not collaborating, under your supervision, then you order the judge to supervise the administrator or you even can contest the executor for the lack of transparency. There are specific steps in a probate must be taken and at any time you can contest if a move is not properly done. To be a beneficiary is easy because you are the receiver after someone else had to get trough some mess on their bone to get legally done for selling a property. If you do not receive your cut, under the probate thats your safe spot, probates are designed so beneficiaries can safely get their cut according the law. This probate cannot be closed, its like a party where it can always be contested something that is not going by the probate steps and getting the executor or administrator of the estate to be overlooked by the district judge, there is no fun anymore, trust me, that person who's got it on them shoulders has to tip toe fast before s#!t hits the fan. So an executor cannot remove a beneficiary but definitely a beneficiary can remove an executor or even an administrator, we're like at a ball with clowns...depends on how serious everyone sees it. But when money is involved, arresting an executor that doesnt want to give you your cut goes behind bars within three months cause this is fraud...to hold your money. Knoledge is freedom....and you poor thing said nothing at all in this video...what are you looking for in doing that, I have no idea.

    What about when a new spouse kills the Settlor (my father), in a real life pre-meditated murder/ elder abuse scenario, and makes it look like a natural death? Because this is exactly what occurred on July 4th, 2023. And I am trying to deal with the Fallout/ somehow figure out how to prevent her from inheriting roughly $4 Million dollars in assets including my family home. The police didn't investigate. The Doctors told them not to (essentially). I could not even grieve my father's passing. I cannot find a Probate Litigator to help me (after calling literally hundreds). The Police have agreed to investigate, but now I am 4 lawsuits and over $20K into this and have no time to prepare the new Affidavit they requested almost two months ago. I am disabled and near death and need help. I am the sole surviving family member. Is Power of Appointment a useful tool in a case where a Trust has been executed and assets already distributed to the beneficiaries (her and myself, the son). I want to petition the court for General Power of Appointment excluding the murdering spouse (an equal beneficiary) from inheriting anything until I (or the police) can prove to the court that she murdered my father (which may not be possible, even though I am 110% certain she did).

    Thanks for this info. I went through Northwest Registered Agent to file my LLC and I love em for the most part but their BOI FAQ is a little nebulous. But since they are fully electronic I'm assuming they don't fit the nature of being a 'company applicant'. I need to double check with them. Really sad that I waited till the second to last day of the 30 day window to hit this snag 😟

    Husband passed away on 6/16/2024, and his non-recourse credit card debt was canceled after his passing. The student loan borrowed by the husband to pay for their children’s tuition from government program was also canceled due to his death. The canceled student loan is not taxable. The principal residence, mortgage and home equity loan are under both the husband and the wife. There are no business, business properties, or investment properties. Questions: 1) where to report husband’s COD from canceled credit card debts? Joint 1040 or husband’s estate on 1041? 2) If on 1041, does the husband’s share of principal residence, mortgage, equity loan, and canceled student loan need to be included in the computation of the insolvency of the H's estate? 3) If there is any excluded COD income due to insolvency, what tax attributes should be reduced on the Form 982 of the husband’s estate return (1041)? Thank you.
