For my entrepreneur/business owner friends, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) requires many of us to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) with FINCEN before the end of this year. I don't think this requirement has been advertised widely, at least yet.
If you are required to file and do not, penalties can be steep. The good news is it is relatively easy to do online. (I filed for both my LLCs in about ten minutes total.) I'm adding a link directly to FINCEN that contains information so you can both determine whether you are required to file, and the process to do so. If you have questions, call your CPA or attorney.
Many companies are required to report information to FinCEN about the individuals who ultimately own or control them. FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024. Learn more about reporting deadlines.
