<p>Thank you for posting and getting us thinking about this. </p>
<p>The natural next questions include how to pick a filing path.
The simplest and in some ways most predictable is to mail it in
with a Certificate of Mailing. The next thing to wonder is if
there is a fax number for this stuff. As far as I can see, the
answer is "no". Finally, during banker's hours, one could
hand-carry it to the Madison building.</p>

<div>I'm wondering if that would be more efficient than spending
hours on hold trying to get through to TAC, with the possible
hope of such a call even working.</div>
