Beneficial Ownership we know is required when an entity is registered with a state secretary, etc. When we have entities who are, for example unincorporated associations, we know that there is no ownership so there is no beneficial ownership. However, in a case like this, are we still required to obtain the certificate form with the control prong section filled out?
Or is the control prong only section filled out when we have a true, legal entity, but ownership is less than 25% for all owners? We weren't clear whether unincorporated organizations such as local sports teams, ladies hat society, etc. who obtain an EIN for their organization, but otherwise are not officially organized or recognized with a state secretary would need the form at all/person opening the account portion of the form/control prong.
