FAQ
Most Minnesota businesses will need a Minnesota state tax ID number, but don't realize that this number is distinct from your federal tax ID number. Your Federal EIN (FEIN) number is often referred to simply as a “tax ID.” You may also hear it called an employer identification number, or EIN.
Some angel investors choose to invest through LLCs rather than as individuals. Generally, passively investing through an LLC rather than as an individual offers no tax advantages.
The Angel Investment Tax Credit is a refundable income tax credit meant to encourage investment in small businesses located primarily in Minnesota and in certain industries. You may claim this credit even if you do not owe Minnesota tax.
An LLC applies for an EIN by filing Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number. See Form SS-4 for information on applying for an EIN. A single-member LLC that is a disregarded entity that does not have employees and does not have an excise tax liability does not need an EIN.
The IRS disregards the LLC entity as being separate and distinct from the owner. Essentially, this means that the LLC typically files the business tax information with your personal tax returns on Schedule C. The profit or loss from your businesses is included with the other income your report on Form 1040.
For tax purposes, LLCs must apply for a federal Employer ID Number from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and a Minnesota Tax ID Number from the Minnesota Department of Revenue.
The state of Minnesota does not require an LLC Operating Agreement, but it may still be recommended for many LLCs.
There is no inheritance tax in Minnesota. Inheritance taxes from other states could apply to you, though. In Kentucky, for instance, all in-state property that is passed down is subject to the inheritance tax, even if the inheritor lives elsewhere.
To be an angel, you need to qualify as an accredited investor, defined by the SEC as $1 million of net worth or annual income over $200,000. (I'm simplifying – the real definition is a bit more complex – but it gives you the idea.) You don't have to own a professional sports team, or pass an exam.
