CTA Updates

**CTA Update 12/4/2024**

Compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act Temporarily Suspended

On December 3, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a preliminary injunction for the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), finding that the CTA is likely unconstitutional. This means that the Beneficial Ownership Information reporting requirements (existing entities required to file by 1/1/2025) are currently suspended. However, we anticipate additional commentary and appeals to the decision from FinCEN and are actively monitoring for updates. We recommend that entities that are required to report under the CTA continue to gather the needed information in the event the preliminary injunction is lifted.

***

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which went into effect on January 1, 2024, requires reporting entities (unless exempt) to file certain information about the entity and its beneficial owners with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by the end of 2024.

You may be required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOI Report) under the CTA. See here for general information and resources about the CTA.
