Information Required for Business Deposit Partners

Answered by: 

Question: 
If a business is comprised of 3-4 partners and the runner brings in a deposit in excess of $10,000, I understand the runner has to be identified for carrying out the transaction on behalf of the business. I have been told we also need the identifying information on the 3-4 partners as well since they have access to the money and therefore the transaction is done on their behalf as well. Is this true?
Answer: 

No. The partnership is undoubtedly recognized as an entity under state law. As such, it has an identity separate from those of its partners, even if all partners own the partnership.
