Form 2553-Election by a Small Business Corporation
I hired a WY registered agent company to form my corporation and they are asking me to complete form 2553. I want the company to be qualified as a woman owned business and I listed my wife as president and myself as treasurer and secretary. Specifically, column L of the form is asking me to list the "number of shares or percentage of ownership" and I'm not sure what to put there. Would I list her as having more shares than me since I want the business to qualify as woman owned? Next, column M is asking for a social security number or EIN of each shareholder. Since the company does have an EIN, would I use that for each of us, or do I need to use our SSN's? If we use our SSN's, how does this affect the anonymity we are trying to accomplish by forming a corporation in the first place? Thank you, Lance
