domiciled in Maine. At the end of the year, the lower tier entity must provide the upper tier entity a Form 1099ME showing the amount
of the withholding for the year. The upper tier entity then provides each of its members a Form 1099ME refl ecting the member’s share
of tax withheld directly by the upper tier entity in box 1 and the member’s share of the tax withheld by lower tier entities in box 2.
