Step 5 – Registration of Your Investment
Club
Where your investment club is located will be a deciding
factor about the requirements for the registration of your
club.
The requirements for registration will be
different depending on what state or province you live
in.
You’ll have to contact your local government to
find out what your own requirements are.
If you live in the United States you can contact
the Office of the Secretary of State for more information
about registering your investment club: http://www.nass.org/sos/sosflags.html
The United States will assign what is known as a
"Federal Tax ID Number" to your investment club. You’ll
need to use this ID number on all your tax
returns.
You’ll also need the ID number when you’re
dealing with a brokerage firm and your bank when you’re
opening up accounts for your investment club.
To obtain a Federal Tax ID Number you need to
get an IRS Form SS-4, which can be obtained at any local
library.
Or you can contact the IRS website directly on
the Internet to obtain a copy.
The procedure, and process, of obtaining a
government ID number for tax purposes will vary depending
on what country you live in. The above information is
exclusive to the United States.
No matter what country that you live in, it’s
important that you request your Tax ID Number as soon as
you can to avoid delay. A delay could mean a delay in
your investing schedule.
