Misconceptions
Misconception 1: The BB1X form is only for new businesses.
This is incorrect. The BB1X form is specifically designed for businesses that need to amend their existing applications. If you need to add a license, permit, or registration that was not included in your original BB-1 form, you must use this amended application.
Misconception 2: There is a fee for every type of registration listed on the BB1X form.
While some registrations do require a fee, others do not. For instance, the Employer’s Withholding and Unemployment Insurance registrations do not incur any fees. Always check the specific requirements for each registration type.
Misconception 3: You can submit the BB1X form without any additional documentation.
This is misleading. When filing the BB1X form, you must attach a check or money order, along with Forms VP-1 and/or VP-2, as applicable. Failing to include these documents may delay your application process.
Misconception 4: The BB1X form can be filed at any time without restrictions.
This is not true. The BB1X form should only be filed when there is a need to add a license or permit that was not applied for on the original BB-1 form. Make sure to follow the guidelines for timing and submission to avoid complications.
