Step 5 Registration
Where your investment club is located will be a deciding factor about the requirements for the registration of your club.
The requirements for registration will be different depending on what state or province you live in.
Youll have to contact your local government to find out what your own requirements are.

The United States will assign what is known as a Federal Tax ID Number to your investment club. Youll need to use this ID number on all your tax returns.
Youll also need the ID number when youre dealing with a brokerage firm and your bank when youre opening up accounts for your investment club.
To obtain a Federal Tax ID Number you need to get an IRS Form SS-4, which can be obtained at any local library.
Or you can contact the IRS website directly on the Internet to obtain a copy.
