UPDATED – Corporate Transparency Act 2024

UPDATED – On December 3, 2024, a federal court in Texas ruled that the CTA is likely unconstitutional and prohibited its enforcement. This set off a review, injunction and follow-up hearing date in March 2025. Until the courts sort it out, companies are no longer required to report by the original deadlines.

We are watching the topic and will keep you apprised of next steps.

 

The Corporate Transparency Act goes into Effect on December 31, 2024.

Have you filed your Beneficial Ownership Information report?  Congress announced this requirement a few years ago and the deadline for compliance is January 1, 2025. A few hurricane-impacted areas have a short reprieve but the requirement is not going away.

Companies, LLCs, partnerships, C Corps and S Corps will face fines of more than $500 per day for non-compliance. More than 32 million companies are required to report this information.
