Pass-through entity representative.
(a)#
Each pass-through entity shall designate, in the manner prescribed by the department, a pass-through member or other person with substantial presence in the United States as the representative of the pass-through entity. In the case in which such designation is not in effect, the pass-through entity shall appoint a representative within 60 days following a written request by the department. If the pass-through entity fails to appoint a representative following a written request by the department, the department may designate a representative and notify the pass-through entity, or the beneficiaries in the case of a closed estate or trust, in writing of the designation. The pass-through entity may at any time provide a written statement to the department designating a new representative and the department shall accept the designation if the statement is signed by an authorized agent of the pass-through entity. The representative designated by a pass-through entity under this paragraph may be different than the pass-through entity’s federal representative or authorized agent.
