Corporate Transparency Act requires small business to report information about ownership to the Government |
Enacted in 2021, the CTA aims to combat illicit activity including tax fraud, money laundering, and financing for terrorism by capturing more ownership information for specific U.S. businesses operating in or accessing the country’s market. Under the new legislation, businesses that meet certain criteria must submit a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), providing details identifying individuals who are associated with the reporting company.
Beginning January 1, 2024, reporting companies will have a limited time to file their initial BOI reports. For qualifying reporting companies established before the above date, the filing deadline is January 1, 2025. Those created between January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, will have 90 days from either the actual notice of formation or public announcement, whichever comes first, to file. Businesses established on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 days from notification or public announcement of their formation to submit their first report to FinCEN.
Two types of reporting companies will be required to submit BOI reports: domestic reporting companies, including LLCs, corporations, and other entities formed through filing with a secretary of state or a comparable office in the U.S.; and foreign reporting companies that are registered to conduct business in the United States through filing with a secretary of state or an equivalent office.

Congratulations Abe Degnan on the Builder of the Year Award from the Wisconsin Builders Association! |
I’m honored to have received the 2024 WBA Builder of the Year Award. This is my 20th year of membership in the Madison Area Builders Association and the Wisconsin Builders Association - and I’ve been active as a volunteer and leader in both of them for nearly as long. I’m proud to have served as President of MABA in 2010 and 2013, and of the WBA in 2021. The members of the builders association have been key friends and mentors to help us grow! I’m also proud to use my skills to lead several volunteer projects, including the three Green Built Home Makeovers and currently, creating the first Foster Care Home for Focus Church. Thanks to everyone at the WBA for this recognition!
