§ 16554 Trust Company Handling Fees

• •If a special company or bank keeps your important papers safe, you have to pay them, not the government.
• •The government won’t pay the fee for storing your stuff, even if they told you to keep it there.
• •This rule is for things like stocks or bonds, not regular money.

You own some stocks and the government says you have to keep them in a special bank for safety.

The bank will charge you a fee for keeping your stocks safe. You have to pay that fee yourself—the government won’t cover it.
