I searched and didn’t see my situation.
I have a Form 1 and some Form 4s pending. I am moving to another city within the same state. What do I need to do?
Nothing.
You can still pick up the items because you’re in the same state and (I assume) have state issued ID.
No requirement to notify ATF of in-state moves, but you can send them a 5320.20 if you want to. Could make it easier if you move down the road or decide to sell an item.
Just curious, what happens if you move to a new state while your form 4 is pending?
If it’s on a trust/corp and you still have somebody in that state, they pick it up.
If not, pretty sure you have to cancel the F4, have it transferred to the new state tax free on an F3, then file a new F4.
Done this a few times. I’ve just waited for everything to clear then I did a 5320.20.
Does it matter if it is on a trust?
Do I have to amend my trust to my new city or anything?
I was curious about this one as well. I will be moving to Hawaii and cant take any of my NFA stuff. Its on a trust in Idaho Im wondering if there is anything i need to do besides store this stuff.
Been there done that.
Did nothing. Worked out okay, and much easier than dealing with the NFA branch.
For the Form 1, it got forwarded with USPS mail forward.
Only if you plan on using that trust to purchase more NFA items.
Cool so if I’m tracking everyone right, do nothing with the currently pending forms, but:
1- file a 5320.20 after they are all approved if I want to.
2- amend my trust to the new address for new purchases
Trust doesn’t need an address. On future forms, just put your current address.
The reason trusts were mentioned was they (along with corps/LLCs) give you alternatives if you moved out of state while they were pending. Otherwise, method of filing is a non-issue.
Ok great!
Thanks everyone for the help!
