Question<\/strong>:\u00a0 I am completing the Arizona Joint Tax Application (the sales tax license application) for my Arizona limited liability company that is owned by my Confidential Trust.\u00a0 How do I answer question 18 that asks for the social security number of the owner?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>: Because your Confidential Trust owns your LLC so that your name does not appear on the public records of the Arizona Corporation Commission for confidentiality purposes, the answers to question 18 may not be obvious.\u00a0 The trust owns the LLC so put the trust\u2019s name in question 18.A. The trust is a revocable living trust, which means the IRS treats the trust as if it does not exist so for federal income tax purposes the trust uses the social security number of the trustmaker. Put the SSAN of the trustmaker in question 18.B. In question 18.C put the word “member.”<\/p>\n
