    @raffaelesilletti156 25 днів тому +1

    Very clear video that partially answered to my question regarding the address of the Llc we just established. Law it's very confusing because we used the registered agent address (Northwest ) but to fill the Boi can't use that. We don't have a phisical address because we don't need it and at same time I don't want to use my personal address as a shareholder. Considered that company is registered in Nevada can we use street address of a friend of us in Vegas who agrees to do that? The registered agent wasn't able to answer to my question. Thank you

What I find strange is that a RA I know says that the Corporate Transparency Act effectively prevents using the RA address for the IRS also. I find this difficult to believe. Comments very welcome.

    When reporting an LLC that has a trust as the beneficial owner, do we report the name of the trust anywhere in the BOI Report? Example: Beneficial owner information - 38. Individual’s last name or entity’s legal name: NAME OF THE TRUST; 39. First name: GRANTOR’S NAME
    ???
    Or do we just report the grantor’s information and do not even mention the name of the trust?

I have one question and that is on the part for the reporting company page would I check to Request to receive FinCen ID or just leave that part blank since I have an ID already? Also one more question and that is for the Company Applicants section would I need to fill this out as well or leave it blank? TIA

    Hi, Thanks Very Much For Helping Guide.
    Please question: In section 11. , "Current US Address" I don't have Current US Address because i have Non-US Residents LLC in Wyoming, which have all addresses outside the united states . so which address we can put?

    I did this through legal zoom. It says complete, but I did not get anything from the government.

    Question. If you paid a company like Bizee to set up your llc for you, who would be the company applicant? Myself for sending the order to them to register my business or would it be them since they were the ones who actually filed it?

      I have the same question. I initially left the Company Applicant information blank but it will not allow me to submit without filling in that information.

    thank you sir, I have a question. I am a greencardholder permanent resident here in the US not citizen yet, should I consider my business a foreign one?

      Green cards mean you are a US tax resident
