Pro-Tips for your Records:
- The “Silo” Rule: Attach a “Schedule A” to this document listing the specific assets (e.g., a property deed or a VIN for a vehicle) that are being moved into this new series.
- The IRS: Since this is a new series, you should now apply for a separate EIN (Employer Identification Number) from the IRS website for this specific series to ensure its tax filings remain segregated.
