Help filing SS-4

Mark Gingrass
Posted

I am trying to start an S-Corp and have a few questions.

My very first step in the process is to fill out an SS-4

Question 1.

"Legal name of entity (or individual) for whom the EIN is being requested"

For this, should I just put what I am GOING to call my corporation when i file that paperwork? in this case "Gingrass Property Investments, Inc."

Question 7a.
Name of principal officer, general partner, grantor, owner, or trustor

Do I put my full name? I was told that you NEVER sign anything with your name but to always add LLC at the end. Can I sign it "John Doe, Inc" instead of just "John Doe"

Question 10.
Date business started or acquired.

can i just put in todays date?

Question 11. Closing month of accounting year
Is their a good month to choose, or is this arbitrary?

Question 12. First date wages or annuities were paid or will be paid?
Not even sure what this means? Can someone clarify this for me?

Here is a link to the form i'm filing?
