To help protect U.S. national security, the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) was implemented by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). As part of its Bank Secrecy Act, certain business entities (referred to as reporting companies) must report information about themselves and their beneficial owners to FinCEN. A reporting company is any corporation (C or S), limited liability company (LLC), professional limited liability company (PLLC), limited partnership (LP), or any other entity created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office the in the U.S. Sole proprietorships and general partnerships are not considered reporting companies unless they were created or registered to do business in the U.S. by filing a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the U.S. A beneficial owner is an individual who directly or indirectly exercises substantial control over a reporting company or owns at least 25% of the reporting company’s ownership interests.
Filing is simple, secure, and free of charge on the official FinCEN website. Beneficial ownership information reporting is not an annual requirement. Unless a company needs to update or correct information, a report only needs to be submitted once.
