The federal Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) went into effect on January 1, 2024. All business entities formed or registered to do business in the United States will need to submit a timely Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report to the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network (FinCEN) unless they qualify for an exemption. Business owners and their advisors are encouraged to attend this seminar, where you will learn about which business entities must file and when, as well as the information that is required to complete the BOI report. We will discuss how Lavelle Law can assist you with this filing and with your annual compliance obligations generally.
Doors will open at 7:45 for a complimentary continental breakfast and the presentation will begin at 8:00. Registration is required as seating is limited. No walk-ins.
ATTENTION Accountants: You will be eligible to earn CPE credit by attending this Breakfast Briefs seminar.
