My Apple payout goes to the LLC now, but some of the older tax records were personal. Is that a real withholding risk or mostly cleanup work?
I am in Portugal and the App Store payout now lands in the LLC account, but the oldest parts of my Apple setup were personal because I launched before the company was fully ready. I have not seen an obvious payout failure yet, so part of me wants to treat this as low priority and just keep going.
At the same time, I know tax forms and payee identity are supposed to be coherent. I want to understand whether this is mainly an admin-quality issue or whether it can create real withholding and reporting risk if the Apple file stays mixed for too long.
