Worth a look Income & business ties

No major clients listed for Hazellief & Prevatt realty INC, which paid them $45,000

Owners of more than 5% of a business who received more than $1,000 from it must list the business's customers or clients that provided more than 10% of its gross income. The secondary income section is empty or N/A. That's correct only if no single customer exceeded 10% — the form doesn't say.

What to check
  • For a small or one-person business, it is unusual for no client to exceed 10% of revenue.
  • Check the business's public contracts or listings for major clients.

Rule: Business owner with no major clients listed
“If your ownership and gross income exceeded the two thresholds listed above, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity's gross income”2024 Form 6 instructions, Income — Secondary Sources ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
