What is a dormant account?
A dormant account refers to a bank or financial account that has had no activity for an extended period, usually ranging from six months to a year, depending on the institution's policy.

Can I still access funds in a dormant account?

Are there any fees associated with dormant accounts?
Some banks may charge dormant account fees if there has been no activity for an extended period. These fees vary depending on the institution's policies and can include monthly maintenance fees or account reactivation fees.
Do I still need to pay taxes even if my account is dormant and I'm no longer conducting business?
If your account is dormant and you're not actively conducting business, you may not have tax obligations related to business income.

It's advisable to consult with a tax professional or accountant to assess your specific situation and determine any tax liabilities or requirements you may have.
