Corporate Transparency Act Resource Center

The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) became effective January 1, 2024. The CTA is an attempt by the U.S. Congress to bolster national security and combat money laundering and other illicit activities. The Act requires most private businesses to report company ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”). The CTA is estimated to affect over 32 million existing businesses and millions of additional businesses formed each year. If an entity is formed by filing documentation with an applicable Secretary of State, whether it be a corporation or a limited liability company, then the company likely must comply with the CTA.
