BG5150 Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 In the past, if we had a plan that needed to file a Schedule P, and it didn't have a Trust Identification Number, I'd add a comment to the cover letter stating that the Trust needs it's own number that is independent of the sponsor's EIN. So, next year, when the P is no longer needed what do I do? I'd have no idea whether or not they have a TIN. And what else would the TIN be for? QKA, QPA, CPC, ERPATwo wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left.

I'd have no idea whether or not they have a TIN. And what else would the TIN be for? It would still be on the trust records...everything from that checking account that acts as a payroll holding / distribution clearing account to the individual brokerage accounts. For those accounts that don't have a custodian the TIN is on the 1099-R's, 1096's, and 945's. Without it there is no real separation of assets.... Should be part of basic plan documentation files...
