Nationwide Preliminary Injunction on CTA Enforcement: What It Means for Your Business

On December 3, 2024, a Texas federal court issued a nationwide preliminary injunction halting the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) (Texas Top COP Shop, Inc. v. Merrick Garland). This development temporarily pauses FinCEN BOIR filing requirements, but it’s crucial to understand that this is only a temporary reprieve. As conflicting rulings emerge in federal courts, businesses must stay prepared for potential compliance requirements. Here’s what you need to know and how to protect your business.

‍

Key Points to Know:

‍

1. Filing Not Required for Now

The preliminary injunction means FinCEN BOIR filing is not currently required. However, this could change if the injunction is reversed or lifted by higher courts. Businesses should take advantage of this time to prepare while remaining compliant with any potential reinstatement of filing requirements.

‍

2. CTA Is Not Dead

This pause is temporary. Federal courts in Virginia and Oregon have denied similar injunction requests, creating a legal conflict that is likely to escalate to higher courts. If appeals overturn the Texas decision, FinCEN reporting requirements may be reinstated, potentially on short notice.

‍

3. Prepare for Urgent Filing

If the requirement is reinstated, businesses must comply by January 1, 2025. Extensions may apply for certain hurricane-affected states, but the timeframe could still be tight, leaving businesses scrambling to meet the deadline.

‍

4. Avoid Overspending on Filing Now

Some services may push unnecessary filings, even though FinCEN BOIR isn’t mandatory at the moment. Choose a solution that allows you to prepare filings at minimal upfront cost, charging the full price only if filing becomes mandatory. This approach ensures you’re ready without wasting resources.
