The Corporate Transparency Act
What is the Corporate Transparency Act?
The CTA is a law that requires business entities it identifies as reporting companies to disclose certain information about the company and its owners to the US Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Under the CTA, a reporting company is a corporation, limited liability company (LLC), or other similar entity created by filing a document with the secretary of state or a similar office under the laws of a state or Indian tribe or formed under the laws of a foreign country and registered to do business in the United States. The following information about the reporting company must be included in the report:
- company’s legal name, and any trade name or “doing business as” name
- street address of the principal place of business
- jurisdiction in which the business was formed
- tax identification number
Don't be fooled by the name—the CTA targets all types of business entities, especially small limited liability companies (LLCs) and partnerships. If you have any business entity—for example, to hold out-of-state real property or valuable personal property, receive valuation discounts, or protect assets—they may be required to comply with the CTA.
