Important news for our Business and estate planning clients. A federal court has issued an injunction against enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act which means that, at least for right now, limited liability companies and corporations are not required to file beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports to the federal government by the January 1, 2025 deadline.
This is a preliminary injunction and does not end this case.
