Joshua Morris2 said:I actually got mine in last Friday. I called Goldman Sachs beforehand to double-check the process. Turns out it's handled just like those standard SEC filings—you do it right through the card. Everything went smooth for me and I got the confirmation instantly.

I tried it today. Did everything exactly the same way, and it worked fine. 🙂

🙏 There’s no longer a requirement to file this, though I suppose some people might still find it relevant for their business operations.

Has anyone actually attempted to submit it?
Can you do it through a Goldman Sachs card? Or is a physical visit to the Goldman Sachs office required to hand over the media?

I tried using my Goldman Sachs card, but it keeps flagging the signature as invalid. After poking around the Goldman Sachs site for a bit, I've come to the conclusion that submitting via the card might just be impossible altogether.
Is that actually the case, or am I just completely losing it?
Honestly, I really hope it's the former! 🙂

Just popped in for a quick coffee break. ☕
Was anyone at the IRS seminar today regarding the new sales tax rules starting July 1st?
Word is they won't even hold the second reading in Congress until May. I mean, seriously? Unbelievable. 😕

Rachel Garcia said:I have a quick question regarding the ID forms.
Essentially, I need to submit two separate ID forms for a three-month period—one using identifier 1, and another using identifier 11.
Is it possible to file two different ID forms for the same month through the IRS portal?
My second question concerns the electronic signature. Since I hold power of attorney, should I be the one signing, or does the authorized representative handle it?
It’s my first time navigating this process, so I figured it was best to ask. 🙂

You can submit multiple different ID forms. As for the signature, it's whoever is named in the power of attorney. 🙂

I’d probably hand the settlement over to the supervisor before the final deadline, assuming I was calculating it by strictly following the specific transaction type and applying the varying rates.
To be honest, I haven't actually seen anyone do it that way more than a few times—usually, people just "glance" at examples in trade journals—but I suppose it should be possible to submit it like that.

Not going to overthink this... I'll sign off on that: 🙂🙂

ruggedcyclist74 said:That is precisely how I interpret the law as well... The VAT return should be submitted during the same year that operations actually begin...

As an exception, the clock only starts ticking once the taxpayer actually begins operating; if they simply opened the LLC but haven't started working yet—meaning they only sent a notice saying the company isn't active rather than filing a standard tax form—that period doesn't count toward the start date.

The moment that final accounting statement is filed, the business activity is officially recorded...

At least, that is my take on it...

I completely agree. You hit on the exact crucial point that was missing from my previous post. 👍

That’s it. I’m done. I can't take any more of this: 🙂

The VAT regulations state... "entities must submit a filing to the IRS within the same year they begin operations..."

- so we're looking at a four-year window here

- and there's also the whole issue of submitting final accounts by today. How much time is actually left?

Think about it again, Raymond Martinez10 (and so will 🙂)
The guy's been acting like he isn't even subject to VAT regulations for four years now.
Look at how he’s been handling those bookkeeping invoices. Did he actually claim the input tax?
In my book, business activity involves the incoming side too, not just the outgoing stuff.

Exactly! Now we actually have some time for a coffee break! ☕ ☕

Unfortunately, looks like we're stuck waiting until next year then.

Bio! Bio!
To’s a very respectful 5:7:5 structure. 🙂

And now, capturing new licenses and versions has become—well, not literary, but more like a technical Haiku! 😍

A Haiku for Jessica Grant56 🙂🙂

Look! An upgrade!
Jessica Grant56! It’s new again!
Give it a spin!

Sure, just file the application before you start any actual business operations.

Just grabbing a quick coffee! ☕ Break time!
Almost there! Only half a month left!
Spring is on its way, and everyone is finally waking up—the dreamers, the overachievers, and the bookworms alike! 🙂

Honestly, I’ve officially stopped trying to make sense of that new IRS form regarding interest income they're supposedly rolling out on April 1st. It feels like an impossible mission; I suspect the logic behind it is only clear to whoever actually wrote it.

Or maybe the form is actually fine and I'm just missing something? 🤣🤣🤣 Oops!

Raymond Martinez10 said:I ran out of ideas, so I decided to give the sales tax filing a shot—still spinning my wheels on it 😠

Was the computer actually in the room, or did it just walk out the window? 🙂

Jessica Grant56 said:Not all bad things are created equal!!

I decided to take a little break from the forums and get away from some of those truly irritating users... (or just one user, really—since there aren't many guys around here, she's already back again)

She took a break, while I just got exhausted. I write, and it vanishes. 🙂

Thanks to Lili P. for the gorgeous rose. I hope you feel better soon! 😘

That’s exactly how I read it! If those certificate verification apps don't play nice together, you could just end up staring at a loading icon spinning forever. 😵
This snippet is basically just some part of an explanation from a Police Department officer regarding why that loading wheel might be stuck.

Maybe some people might find this helpful:

Are you using Chase?

The issue is that ActiveClient and the Chase eToken PKI Client (the apps used to verify card certificates) aren't playing nice together.

Maybe try reinstalling the eToken PKI Client. I guess we had some users where that actually fixed the problem.

If that doesn't work... is there any chance you could use Chase on a different computer and the IRS on this one? Or any other combo, really—just to ensure those two specific apps aren't installed on the same machine at once.
