Before the trust entity became vogue, I had been filing as a non-profit (not charitable) organization in WA state in 2001. This is how my Form 4s have been filed for quite a while. A $10 filing fee was required along with an annual report to the WA Secretary of State Corporations division. Quick and easy.
This year, however, I received notification that the procedure had changed and that it had become a little more stringent (not horribly) and the cost jumped to $20. They also requested an IRS EIN (employee identification number).
So the prior 10-min-$10 procedure turned into quite a bit more. It was a minor pucker factor in what had previously been a yawner, annual renewal.
Just wondering if any old timers who had created a WA corp experience a little whiplash this year and survived without trauma?
