Form 5102 Annual Records Service form received via postal mail requesting information about owners of an LLC and a filing fee to return form with $119.

- Essex Junction, VT, USA

My practice received a single page "form" in the mail labeled Form 5102 indicating that I must complete and return it in order to avoid up to $10,000 fine or 2 years of imprisonment. It requested my name, EIN for the business, address, and payment. There was NO notation on the form about it not being an official government document. Instead, it indicated that US Businesses are required to report their beneficial ownership information, and that this has been "enacted by congress".

Received a letter (form 5102) in the mail from the "Annual Records Service". The form indicated this was a mandatory beneficial ownership reporting service and a fee of $119 was required.
