Incorporated Associates - Entering Agent Incorporation Information for Profit Share and Commissions – KWMCAngel

For Commissions, each associate can only have one set of incorporation information entered per Market Center.
For Profit Share, only the agent can enter an alternate tax ID for themselves, and they cannot enter multiple. That alternative tax ID is applied to all profit share payments, regardless of how many Market Centers they are a part of.
Profit Share proceeds can continue to be paid to the agent's name and 1099/T4Ad under their SSN/SIN even if their commission is 1099/T4Ad under their EIN/BN.

Before you start entering this information:

Make sure to check with your local real estate board to ensure you are following the local laws required for paying an associate's commission to a company. Some states require their license to be in that name or do not allow this process at all.

Provided this is legal in your area, you will need to collect from them a copy of their Articles of Incorporation which identifies the Incorporated Name (name of the company), the EIN/BN#, the address for the corporation, and the Registered Officers (agent's name) of the corporation. as well as a W-9 / PREC for their corporation.

You may wish to create a basic document that they sign stating whether the corporation is to be paid all commissions, profit share proceeds, and/or both. Having them sign this document/authorization letter protects you as an MCA in case there are ever disputes regarding their profit share (especially if there are more officers of the corporation than just this associate).

WinMORE will now process all closings going forward under that EIN/BN as opposed to the agent's SSN/SIN. The agent may receive two 1099/T4As at the end of the year - one for production closed under the SSN/SIN, and the other for production closed after the EIN/BN was entered. You may need to create a card in AccountEdge/Lonewolf for the new Corporation's name as you will now pay the corporation for this associate's commission. The agent may also wish their office invoices to be written to the corporation as well, if so, simply create a new Customer Card file (or update their current one) with the new info. Email MCASupport@kw.com if you have any questions on this process.
