    Thank you. Here’s the impression I get from this new layer of paperwork: ‘the form you filed to be a business and the sole owner was done by you?’ ‘Yes I’m the owner.’ ‘Ok, we need a form showing that as the sole owner you are responsible if your company does illegal stuff.’ ‘If I’m the sole owner and only employee then it’s obvious I’m the one responsible if I break the law.’ ‘Yes but we need another obvious form to waste your time and ensure we are needed to process data.’ Simplistic but this is the impression I get.

      The same thing happened to me. I can't find anywhere to check status. I'm guessing that my accountant who did our initial business setup must have filed this as part of our set up information and I just wasn't aware. But I would like to double check so that I am sure I won't get fines. Any idea how we can double check?

      My account did it for me. So it's already been filed. Sounds like yours has already been filed as well.

    Hello Hannah,
    I just opened an LLC on Dec 6th 2024 through an accountant that was referred to me (he filed my LLC with the Sec of State) I asked him to send me his dob and pic ID to download for the APLLICANT INFORMATION SEGMENT and he's saying that MY INFORMATION goes there NOT HIS, he even saw the 5 min video on the Fincen page!
    He was just getting on a plane as of today, don't know when he's coming back.
    What can I do?

    Hi! Thank you for your awesome video! I have a quick question about the address of the Reporting Company. Which address should I use to file for the Reporting Company address section if I don't have a US primary address but only a virtual address in Texas (this virtual address is used for mail forwarding and business address purpose)? Should I use the virtual address or my Registered Agent's address if they allow me to use theirs? Also my home address is an apartment address so will this apartment address be qualified and legally used to file? Thank you so much!
