Maintaining your “Financial Center Wyoming” structure requires a disciplined approach to two different sets of deadlines: the fixed dates for the Statutory Trust and the anniversary-based dates for your LLC subsidiaries.
Because your strategy includes a 508(c)(1)(A) religious entity, your compliance is actually lighter than most, but the stakes for “Good Standing” remain high.
2026 Gonen Group Compliance Calendar
I. Fixed Annual Deadlines
| Date | Entity | Filing/Task | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 2 | Gonen Statutory Trust | Wyoming Annual Report | Unlike LLCs, trusts must file by Jan 2 every year. Fee is typically $100. |
| Jan 31 | Gonen Capital LLC | 1099/W-2 Distribution | If you paid contractors or employees in 2025, forms must be sent now. |
| Apr 15 | Gonen Funds / Trust | IRS Form 1041 | If the Trust has taxable income not passed to the 508(c), file (or extend) now. |
| Ongoing | 508(c)(1)(A) | Internal Record Keeping | No IRS filing (No 990), but you must document that funds were used for religious/charitable ends. |
II. Anniversary-Based Deadlines (LLC Subsidiary)
Your Gonen Capital LLC (or any other LLC you form) has a unique deadline based on the day it was created.
- Due Date: The 1st day of the anniversary month of formation.
- Example: If you form Gonen Capital LLC on March 15, 2026, your first annual report will be due March 1, 2027.
- Fee: $60 minimum (calculated at $.0002 per dollar of assets located in Wyoming).
III. Maintenance Checklist for “Building and Securing”
1. The “Good Standing” Check
Every quarter, perform a search on the Wyoming Secretary of State website for your LLC. Ensure the status is “Active”. If you miss a filing for 60 days, the state will “Administratively Dissolve” the entity, which breaks your liability shield.
2. Registered Agent Communication
Your Registered Agent (the address in Cheyenne or Sheridan) is your legal “mailbox.” They will receive service of process (lawsuits) and state notices.
- Action: Ensure your email is updated with them. They usually send the 120-day “Annual Report” reminders.
3. The 508(c) “Operational Audit”
Since you aren’t filing with the IRS, you must be your own auditor.
- The “Church Audit”: Ensure you have minutes from at least one “Board of Elders” or “Trustee” meeting per year.
- Separation of Funds: Never pay personal bills directly from the 508(c) account. Distribute funds to yourself as a salary or housing allowance to keep the “Securing” layer intact.
IV. Critical 2026 Note: Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)
While 508(c)(1)(A) organizations are generally exempt from the new BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) reporting, your Wyoming LLC and potentially your Statutory Trust may need to file.
- Deadline: If formed in 2026, you have 90 days from formation to report “Beneficial Owners” to FinCEN.
- Status: This is a one-time filing (unless your address or ownership changes).
