So would I use this form to establish a fiduciary relationship between myself and my bank? Or is that not the use case for the 56F?

[@PinkFlowerPetal]

Yes

[@randynettles7656]

Excellent walk through. Great explanation. Thanks so much!

Does the fiduciary you name in line 9 do the signing of the document at the bottom? Great vid 👌

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

Yes. You should also indicate the fiduciary's role (receiver or conservator).

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

Can a trustee with an EIN put their entity on Fiduciary name

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

According to the form instructions, filers would use Form 56-F to notify the IRS of a fiduciary relationship only if that relationship is with respect to a financial institution (such as a bank or a thrift). If you're acting as a trustee on behalf of another person, estate, or trust, you should probably use IRS Form 56.

Some stuff is confusing to me, would the fudiciary be the company held by the parent company?

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

I'd need to know a little more information about the situation before definitively answering that, but it could be. Can you give a little more detail?

[@jakofalltrades095]

Indeed, so there is a parent company, then the company shown to the public, so cap1 financial corporation, and cap one n.a(the thrift you open an account with)- so my question is, is cap one n.a the fudiciary after ive signed up for an account?

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

@@jakofalltrades095 Here is the definition of the term 'fiduciary' based on the Form 56 instructions: A fiduciary means the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or other federal agency authorized by law to act as a receiver or conservator of a financial institution. The term also includes any federal instrumentality, subsidiary, or agency that is a predecessor or successor of this agency that is so authorized.

[@jakofalltrades095]

Indeed, i did read that, they use many words im unfamiliar with, this provided clarification to my interpretation, thank you

[@Vicureview]

I can't find where to file this form, Where do we send this form? Thanks!

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

Here is what the form instructions say: For purposes of IRC Section 6402(k) and Section 6903, send Form 56-F to the Internal Revenue Service Center where the financial institution for whom the fiduciary is acting files its income tax return. If you don't know where this is, here is a link that might be able to help, if you know a little more about the financial institution's tax returns: www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-tax-returns-addresses-listed-by-return-type For purposes of section 6036, send Form 56-F to the Advisory Group Manager of the area office of the IRS having jurisdiction over the person for whom you are acting.

[@arithetruth481]

Where do we send. Mail? Fax?

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

You cannot fax this to the IRS. According to the form instructions, you should file this with the IRS center where the *financial institution for whom the fiduciary is acting files its income tax return.* You can find more information here: www.irs.gov/filing/where-to-file-paper-tax-returns-with-or-without-a-payment

Can i use one of these in a pending ssdi case ?

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

Probably not, since IRS Form 56-F is specifically for financial institutions. If applicable, you may consider using IRS Form 56 (link to video below). But to clarify, what would you use IRS Form 56 for? It might not be the right form when dealing with the SSA.

@@teachmepersonalfinance I thought social security is a trust ? They would be taxing my settlement and I thought courts were lso banks or am I wrong?

[@soulmedicine]

@@teachmepersonalfinance well I'm the beneficiary in the social security trust I was gonna appoint the judge as my trustee to remind d him he's obligated to his duties and I'm to benefit from. This proceeding

[@soulmedicine]

​@@teachmepersonalfinance use form 56 to appoint the judge as the fiduciary in my ssdi case since ssdi is a trust and I'm the beneficiary of the trust so in that capacity it's applicable right?

[@soulmedicine]

​@@teachmepersonalfinance also all courts are financial institutions they handle money and securities and bonds everyday

[@docvencil2222]

Does the Fiduciary have to be either a Receiver or Conservator Box 14?

[@teachmepersonalfinance]

There doesn't appear to be anything specific in the instructions regarding Box 14. However, there are several references about Form 56-F applying to either a receiver or conservator. At the end, the signature block indicates that you should choose the one that correlates to your assigned role: Sign Form 56-F under penalty of perjury and enter the title describing your role as a fiduciary (receiver or conservator).
