Hi, I know this has been (somewhat) answered in years past but wanted to ask again because I still need some clarification.
It is my understanding that when filing a CTR for a cash deposit into a trust account bearing an actual EIN, you would treat it entirely like an entity.
The clarification I need is what to do when the trust is under the individuals SS#. and also has another trustee listed.
My mind goes straight to treating it as you would a DBA (putting trust name in alternate name field, etc.) and listing anyone who has access to the funds (benefiters) .
Is this correct?
My thinking has been muddied since I came across a response I had received from someone at FinCen back in 2015 that instructed me to treat a trust reporting under an individuals SS as an entity in its entirety - marking the entity box, checking "person on whose behalf transaction was conducted" and then listing the conductor information, etc.
Thoughts please. I can't find anything specific to this scenario on FinCens site
