Every year, investors will receive an annual Schedule K-1 for each deal they’ve invested in that was powered by the Seed Labs compliance suite. These filings report any gains, losses, or valuation changes to the investor’s interest in the vehicle. It is each investor’s responsibility to work with their jurisdiction’s tax professionals to ensure they are in line with their region’s guidelines.
K1s will be sent via email and available for download on the Venture OS (platform) by March 15th.
We have not yet launched the ability to add accountants or other third parties to your account. However, we are working on this feature and will notify you when it is available.
In the meantime, there is a simple workaround that you can do:
- Instruct your accountant/third party individual to go the link on VentureOS that they need to access.
- Have them enter your email– the email that you normally use to log in to VentureOS.
- They will be prompted to enter a code that will be sent to your email. Let them know the code.
- They will be able to access the link and view the information they need.
Please be careful with who you share your login with. You are responsible for any actions taken on your account.
