Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) online | Internal Revenue Service
Employer Identification Numbers are issued for the purpose of tax administration and are not intended for participation in any other activities (e.g., tax lien auction or sales, lotteries, etc.)
Exempt organization information
If you believe your organization qualifies for tax exempt status (whether or not you have a requirement to apply for a formal ruling), be sure your organization is formed legally before you apply for an EIN. Nearly all organizations exempt under IRC 501(a) are subject to automatic revocation of their tax-exempt status if they fail to file a required annual information return or notice for three consecutive years. When you apply for an EIN, we presume you're legally formed and the clock starts running on this three-year period.
Example: Your organization applies for an EIN in November 2023 and chooses a December accounting period. Your first tax period would end on December 31, 2023, and your first return or notice (if your organization does not meet one of the few exceptions to the annual reporting requirement) would be due May 15, 2024. You would be subject to automatic revocation of your exemption if you fail to file for the three periods that end December 31, 2025 (return/notice due May 15, 2026) or for any consecutive three-year period thereafter.
Reporting of beneficial ownership information
You may be required to report certain information on your beneficial owners to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Certain types of corporations, limited liability companies, and other similar entities created in or registered to do business in the United States must report information about their beneficial owners—the persons who ultimately own or control the company, to FinCEN beginning on January 1, 2024. If you are a company required to report, the initial beneficial ownership information reporting is based on the date your company receives actual notice that its creation or registration is effective, or after a secretary of state or similar office first provides public notice of its creation or registration, whichever is earlier.
Questions such as will my company be required to report beneficial ownership information to FinCEN, who is a beneficial owner, and when do I need to report my company's beneficial ownership information are found on FinCEN's website.

(B) Whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that any person or group of persons is engaged in a pattern or practice of misuse of the information available via an Internet Web
	site established pursuant to this section in violation of paragraph (2), the Attorney General, any district attorney, or city attorney, or any person aggrieved by the misuse is authorized to bring a civil action in the appropriate court requesting preventive relief, including an application for a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, or other order against the person or group of persons responsible for the pattern or practice of misuse. The foregoing remedies shall be independent of any other remedies or procedures that may be available to an aggrieved party under other provisions of law, including Part 2 (commencing with Section 43) of Division 1 of the Civil Code.(m) The public notification provisions of this section are applicable to every person described in this section, without regard to when his or her crimes were committed or his or her duty to register pursuant to Section 290 arose, and to every offense described in
	this section, regardless of when it was committed.(n) A designated law enforcement entity and its employees shall be immune from liability for good faith conduct under this section.(o) The Attorney General, in collaboration with local law enforcement and others knowledgeable about sex offenders, shall develop strategies to assist members of the public in understanding and using publicly available information about registered sex offenders to further public safety. These strategies may include, but are not limited to, a hotline for community inquiries, neighborhood and business guidelines for how to respond to information posted on this Internet Web site, and any other resource that promotes public education about these offenders.(p) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2021, and as of that date is repealed.SEC. 10. Section 290.46 is added to the Penal Code, to read:290.46. (a) (1) On or before the dates specified in this section, the Department of Justice shall make available information concerning persons who are required to register pursuant to Section 290 to the public via an Internet Web site as specified in this section.

Bill Text - SB-421 Sex offenders: registration: criminal offender record information systems.
Sex offenders: registration: criminal offender record information systems.Existing law requires persons convicted of specified sex offenses and certain acts of human trafficking for purposes of committing various sex offenses or extortion, as specified, or attempts to commit those offenses, to register with local law enforcement agencies while residing in the state or while attending school or working in the state. Willful failure to register, as required, is a misdemeanor, or a felony, depending on the underlying offense.Existing law requires the Department of Justice to make available to the public information concerning registered sex offenders on an Internet Web site, as specified. Existing law requires that information to include, among other things, whether the offender was subsequently incarcerated for another felony. Existing law also authorizes a person to file an application for exclusion from the
	 Internet Web site and establishes the requirements for exclusion.This bill would would, commencing January 1, 2021, instead establish 3 tiers of registration based on specified criteria, for periods of at least 10 years, at least 20 years, and life, respectively, for a conviction of specified sex offenses, and 5 years and 10 years for tiers one and two, respectively, for an adjudication as a ward of the juvenile court for specified sex offenses, as specified. The bill would allow the Department of Justice to place a person in a tier-to-be-determined category for a maximum period of 24 months if his or her appropriate tier designation cannot be immediately ascertained.
	 The bill would establish procedures for termination from the sex offender registry for a registered sex offender who is a tier one or tier two offender and who completes his or her mandated minimum registration period under specified conditions. The bill would require the offender to file a petition at the expiration of his or her minimum registration period and would authorize the district attorney to request a hearing on the petition if the petitioner has not fulfilled the requirement of successful tier completion, as specified. The bill
	 would also authorize a tier three offender who meets specified criteria to petition the court for placement in tier two, as specified. The bill would establish procedures for a person required to register as a tier three offender based solely on his or her risk level to petition the court for termination from the registry after 20 years from release of custody, if certain criteria are met.

	in Section 290.04, if available.(3) The information that may be provided pursuant to this subdivision may include the information specified in subdivision (b) of Section 290.45.

Cómo desestimar su caso de desalojo | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Marque la primera casilla si obtuvo una exención de cuotas al presentar su caso. Marque la segunda casilla si no obtuvo una exención de cuotas.
Si obtuvo una exención de cuotas, es posible que deba devolver la cuota sujeta a la exención si la otra parte le paga $10,000 o más. Lea la segunda página del formulario para averiguar si esto se aplica a usted.
Abajo de la sección 2, feche el documento, escriba su nombre completo y firme.
Si su inquilino presentó una Contrademanda contra usted en el caso, también deberá firmar el formulario de Solicitud de desestimación. Esto suele ser poco común. De lo contrario, no es necesario que firme este formulario.

¿Qué significa "con prejuicio" o "sin prejuicio"? 

Con prejuicio significa que no puede presentar un nuevo caso de desalojo para desalojar a su inquilino sobre los problemas que expuso en la Demanda que presentó. Por ejemplo, si está desestimando el caso porque su inquilino se salió y no le debe dinero, puede marcar esta casilla porque no tendrá que presentar una solicitud para desalojarlo nuevamente o para cobrar el dinero que solicitó en la Demanda. 
Sin perjuicio significa que puede presentar nuevamente sobre el mismo problema que expuso en la Demanda presentada si es necesario. Si está desestimando el caso porque su inquilino se mudó y le debe dinero, puede marcar esta casilla porque es posible que desee presentar una solicitud para cobrar el dinero que solicitó en la Demanda.
