Bulletin: NY000566

This Bulletin is to advise you of a change in the ACRIS tax forms which may impact your work flow.  Stewart suggests you advise your customers and clients of these changes as soon as possible.  You will need additional information to complete the recording process.  Effective May 18, 2015, the NYC-RPT form will be revised to include two additional GRANTOR and GRANTEE types:

    1.    Single Member LLC
    2.    Multiple Member LLC

For any grantor and grantee that is a partnership or a multiple member LLC, the revised form will request the name and SSN/EIN for each general partner or member:

·         Provide the requested information for each general partner or member in a supporting document with a separate page for each partnership or LLC. Include the name of the partnership or LLC.

·         If the social security number or employer identification number is not provided, attach an affidavit attesting to the reasons the information is missing.

For NYC-RPT forms created in ACRIS on or after May 18, 2015, eTax and Cover Page creation will change as follows:

• When selecting a party type on the ACRIS eTax RPTT Grantor and Grantee tabs, an additional choice of Multiple Member LLC will display.
