What information must be provided in writing to those who paid into the account when ownership changes?

• A. The name and address of the previous and new owners
• B. The tax IDs of the owners
• C. The date of change only
• D. The account numbers

Answer: (A)

When ownership changes, those who contributed to the account must be informed with clear identification of who was involved and who now holds the rights. The essential details to include are the names and addresses of both the previous owner and the new owner. This gives the payers a reliable way to verify who now owns the funds and to contact the correct person if needed, helping prevent confusion or disputes and ensuring proper notice under applicable rules.

Other information, like tax IDs, date of change, or account numbers, isn’t the information required to notify contributors. Tax IDs aren’t necessary for identifying the parties, a change date alone doesn’t identify who is involved, and account numbers don’t provide the identifying details needed for proper notice.
