Corporate Transparency Act Regulations and Guidance Tracker

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) beneficial ownership information reporting was mandated under the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. CTA requires companies that are formed or registered to do business in the United States to file a beneficial ownership report with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). As of January 2, 2025, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN due to ongoing litigation. Access this comprehensive tracker for a summary of relevant FinCEN proposed and final rules, regulations, and other guidance relating to the CTA.
