Analysis of Form 56
Recently, I was going over some documents related to Status-Corrections, and noticed that I must be some sort of complete idiot who can't understand these damn government-formatted documents. Then again, seriously, who the hell has time for all this crap, anyway!? Regardless, this is about Form 56, related to the IRS.
The latest government-version (corporate-version?) of Form 56 can be accessed from the IRS web-site. According to the About Form 56 page, under their Forms and Instructions section, said form is used to «provide notification to the IRS of the creation or termination of a fiduciary relationship under section 6903» and to «give notice of qualification under section 6036».
