        "content": "Yes \u2014 filing a tax return with the OLD name \u201cBethpage Federal Credit Union\u201d after it has been officially renamed to \u201cFourLeaf Federal Credit Union\u201d should still work. Here\u2019s a breakdown of what\u2019s happening, why the name change probably won\u2019t cause tax issues, and what to watch out for:\n\n---\n\n## What\u2019s changed\n\n- The credit union officially changed its legal name from *Bethpage Federal Credit Union* to *FourLeaf Federal Credit Union* on **March 3, 2025**. ([longislandpress.com](https://www.longislandpress.com/2025/03/04/fourleaf-bethpage-credit-union/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Their charter was amended to reflect this name change. Legally, the institution is now registered under the new name. ([brookhavenida.org](https://brookhavenida.org/files/7-16-25-IDA-Packet.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Despite the name change, many of the credit union\u2019s operational details remain the same: account numbers, branches, loan and bill payment systems, membership info, etc. ([fourleaffcu.com](https://www.fourleaffcu.com/announcement/?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## So, what about your tax return?\n\nWhen you submit a tax return that includes documents from a financial institution, there are a few points that matter:\n\n1. **Legal name vs. \u201cDoing Business As\u201d (DBA) name**  \n   Even though the institution\u2019s legal name is now FourLeaf, they likely still recognize \u201cBethpage Federal Credit Union\u201d as an alternate name. The IRS and other entities understand that companies can change names, and usually have systems to accommodate \u201cformerly known as\u201d names for continuity.\n\n2. **Accounts and tax documents**  \n   If you have tax documents (e.g., a 1099-INT, mortgage interest statements, etc.) that were issued under \u201cBethpage Federal Credit Union\u201d (or partially after the change), that\u2019s okay. The IRS recognizes that name changes don\u2019t necessarily invalidate past documents \u2014 what matters are the identifying info (account numbers, institution\u2019s EIN, address, etc.). As long as those other details are correct, the name discrepancy should not cause a rejection. \n\n3. **Matching with IRS records**  \n   If your institution\u2019s legal name appears in IRS databases, but the document says \u201cBethpage,\u201d it may raise a question. But typically, providing your documents with the \u201cBethpage\u201d name along with supporting context (like notices from the institution about the name change) makes it clear enough. Most tax filing software or IRS systems allow for some variation or prior names.\n\n---\n\n## What to do to be safe\n\nTo avoid a potential hiccup:\n\n- Keep any official **notice of name change** from FourLeaf/Bethpage \u2014 PDF or physical \u2014 on file. This can help explain the discrepancy if ever questioned. ([docs.fourleaffcu.com](https://docs.fourleaffcu.com/press/2025/Bethpage-is-Now-FourLeaf-Federal-Credit-Union.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- Make sure your account information is all correct (account number, address, etc.). If those change, update them. If just the name changes but all else stays the same, that\u2019s a simpler case.  \n- When entering data in tax forms or software, if there\u2019s a field for the financial institution name, use what's on your tax documents (even if it says \u201cBethpage\u201d). If there\u2019s a field for \u201cOther name used by institution\u201d or similar, you can note \u201cformerly known as FourLeaf\u201d or vice versa if needed.  \n- Contact customer service at FourLeaf if you feel unsure or need a reissued document under the new name. They should be able to help. All other details like the EIN (tax ID) or address should match what the IRS or the form expects.  \n\n---\n\n## Bottom line\n\nYou really should be fine submitting your tax return using documents under \u201cBethpage Federal Credit Union.\u201d Name changes are common, and the IRS along with other institutions are set up to handle them, particularly when it's just the name of the institution that\u2019s changed and not the legal entity itself. As long as the supporting info (account D, official notices, identifiers) is consistent, this kind of discrepancy is usually not a problem.\n\nIf you like, I can double-check IRS guidance to confirm exactly how they handle institution name changes, so you can feel 100% confident. Do you want me to pull that up?"
