I guess I'll find out about the Schedule A.  I didn't send one with my electronic SBR application.

I have heard various takes on this list - from "it isn't necessary, it's just to help you (and your heirs/beneficiaries) keep track of what the trust owns when the time comes to distribute property" to "it's a running list of what has been approved and I send in an updated list with each F1/F4" and "I update it when I send in the form/get approved/never/when I get around to it/etc".  I have heard plenty of people say (including the poster above) that they only send their original list (including only the initial funding "body" of trust property that was required to execute the valid trust).

Appreciate the help. I didn't remember sending in more than the IRS Tax ID Form & the State of TX Cert of Corporation before so I'll continue on. Thanks again.

I filed last night for my first SBR via e-file and I think I screwed up dang it...i didn't submit my EIN with my paperwork just all my LLC docs from my state (AZ) showing it was approved.

Am I screwed or will they call or email me to get clarification or do you really need to submit the EIN?

This thread was a great help (even if I screwed it up).

Thanks in advance.


****EDIT****

I went back into the efile system and i was able to add my EIN document, have I found a glitch in the matrix and did I just make it worse?

Note nothing on the application was wrong, only the EIN document was missing from my supporting docs for my LLC.

Is it normal for the eForm to list only "5.56" as caliber (without unit of measurement) even though one chooses "mm" as unit of measure?  Is the absence of "mm" indicative of any problem that should be worked on?


Is the absence of the dash in "XX-15" for various AR model names in the drop-down box indicative of anything?  I know that box is just populated by what others have put in, but if the model as engraved is "XX-15" and only "XX15" is listed, is that indicative that nobody has ever entered that before, or that the model name without the dash has been approved, etc.  The proper thing to do is to check the box and manually type in "XX-15" with the dash, correct?  Does the "extra time for research" actually add extra time on the "new unknown firearm," or are they bright enough to figure this stuff out?

[Last Edit: AlabamaPaul] [#7]
You enter the caliber, either from the dropdown or by entering it yourself. Then you select whether it's "Cal" or "MM".  The model should match the engraving on the receiver (attach a picture if necessary)...

It doesn't necessarily show up on the form though?  I selected it but it doesn't show up on the completed form.  I tried finding examples online and saw F1s with and without units.

I can't even register. On the part where it says city it shows a dropdown but doesn't show anything when I click it and it wont let me add my state. I've tried it on 3 different browsers.

Tried it on the ipad and it worked. Now back to the laptop to try the rest.

Got 2 forms completed last night, had to refresh, close the window, and clear my cache a few times but I did the whole thing on chrome.

IIRC, it seems like those auto populate when you enter the zip.  Can you enter that?

Just tried to efile a form1. Went all the through up to the page where you upload trust doc's. Added the file, named it, clicked 'ADD' and it appeared in the box below as an "added" item. waited for a while and the 'next' tab never became available to click on. I finally just hit 'finish' and nothing. no pay screen or validation screen as you show near the end of your tutorial. It just bumps me back to the main form selection screen and shows I have no forms saved. I tried 3 different approved browsers and all had same result.

I double checked everything I did and made sure my trust pdf was under the limit (1.75mb actually).

Any ideas? Thanks

Try uploading a MS Word document (doesn't matter if it only contains one sentence) then upload the trust. If that works just delete the Word document...

I filled out the form up until I uploaded the PDF.  Something happened and it went back to the  first screen and it never showed the pay screen.  Do I have to do it again or is there a way to see if the form was submitted?

Do it before, or while you are waiting for the stamp. If you do it after approval, the firearm is now restricted, and you cannot just leave it in some engraver's possession, like you could before.

This is ridiculous.   I have tried four different browsers.   All protections turned off.   The shield trick in Chrome.  And still nothing.

It sends me back to the select screen after uploading my trust pdf that is only 1.3 mB.  Also tried the upload additional document file and delete trick a few posts up.   Nothing.

I never get the "NEXT"  button,  only the "Finish"  button.

I am selecting the check box "My item description is not in the list,  create new item"  because it is a pistol lower built as a 300 blackout from the factory.  It will be built with a 9mm upper.  When I select this check box it grays out the "Save template"  button at the bottom.

It is so frustrating I feel like I have wasted my money on forming a trust will just eat my losses and forget about SBRs or suppressors.

So is it normal to have a copy in your draft folder and the submitted/in process folder ? the copy in draft folder doesn't have a submitted date .
Hope I didn't screw something up , my first one was submitted on 3/13 and I see other approvals for that date !

Yeah , I wasn't going to delete it . Wasn't sure if it was affecting my approval though since it doesn't show a submitted date on the draft .
didn't change anything but I may have opened it accidently !

Tried it on Android both chrome and Firefox to no avail.   Can't even get my draft to load on those.   May try a friends iPhone.

As far as waiting on the pop up,  each time it gives a Web page cannot load error sort of like if you were to lose your data connection as it was loading.

I'm done for the night.

Dumb question.  I have one of the blank 199trust.com trusts from a sale a while back.  I am finally getting around to submitting my form 1 for an SBR.  Does the blank inventory section where you fill out the make, model, serial, etc. of everything you want to put in the trust, need to be filled out before submitting the trust with the form 1?

I figured PDFs would be a lot smaller than the scans themselves and it makes a nice neat document.
I didn't even think of that, I will check when I get home.
