Do I fill out the Transferee Questions for a Single Person Gun Trust or Legal Entity?

The transferee questions that are located on the ATF 5320.1 Form 1, ATF 5320.4 Form 4 and the ATF 5320.5 Form 5 paperwork are only required to be filled out on the actual form if you are applying as an individual.  This is even true if your gun trust or legal entity has only one responsible person within that gun trust or legal entity.  The transferee questions if your applying for a tax stamp with a gun trust or a legal entity will be answered using the ATF 5320.23 Responsible Persons Questionnaire.
