CTA is back again!

CTA is back!  You are required to file FinCEN BOIR again.  The new deadline is March 21, 2025.  Here’s a brief timeline of recent CTA developments:

  • Dec. 3, 2024: A Texas federal court issued a nationwide preliminary injunction on CTA enforcement (Texas Top COP Shop, Inc. v. Merrick Garland).
  • Dec. 23, 2024: The Fifth Circuit granted the DOJ’s motion for a stay on the injunction, and FinCEN extended the compliance deadline from Jan. 1 to Jan. 13, 2025.
  • Dec. 26, 2024: The Fifth Circuit vacated the stay, reinstating the injunction. FinCEN BOIR requirements are paused until the constitutional oral arguments on the CTA in March 2025.
  • Jan. 23, 2025:  U.S. Supreme Court ruled to lift the nationwide injunction but due to the limited explanations in the ruling, the ruling is being interpreted only specifically apply to the case of Texas Top COP Shop, Inc. v. Merrick Garland.  
  • Jan. 24, 2025: FinCEN issued a notice stating that the nationwide injunction is still in place because of the nationwide injunction issued by another Texas case under the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Smith v. US Department of the Treasury) in January 7, 2025.  
  • Feb. 18, 2025:  U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas lifted the injunction (Smith, et al. v. U.S. Department of the Treasury).  FinCEN posted an updated notice on February 19, 2025 (see above) and have extended the deadline to March 21, 2025.

Entity that has to Report
If the entity does not qualify for any one of the 23 exemptions, you need to report the entity to FinCEN along with its beneficial owner(s).  The entities that are subject to FinCEN BOI Reporting are “Reporting Entities.”
Types​
Reporting entities include limited liability partnerships, limited liability limited partnerships, business trusts, and most limited partnerships that have registered and/or formed with a secretary of state or similar office.​​

Trusts are EXCLUDED so you do not need to report a TRUST so long as the trust is not created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office. (Note that there are special rules of a trust which are further explained in the FinCEN BOIR website.) ​
Exemptions
There are 23 exemptions, which exempt an entity from beneficial ownership information reporting requirements.  These entities are mostly publicly traded companies, nonprofits, and certain large operating companies (i.e., at least 21 employees with $5 million or more revenue and a physical office in the U.S.).  

Click on the link below to see the 23 exemptions.​​ Note that just because the parent entity may be exempted from FinCEN BOIR, its subsidiaries that are part of a joint venture may still need to report to FinCEN.​
