If one of these applies to you, or someone you know/love, not reading this email could cost you $10,000 and 2 years in jail:
I know that’s vague, and you have to be thinking … $10,000?! And .. (gasp) … 2 years in jail?!
This must be clickbait, right?!
Nope, it’s real. And it has to do with The Corporate Transparency Act.
This Act was created a few years ago, and it’s designed to make it harder for people to launder money through entities like LLCs by forcing them to be transparent about the real people benefitting from the entity’s activities.
How do they accomplish this goal? By forcing each one to file a list of what’s called “Beneficial Owners”. And that term is misleading, because there are several types of people that could be considered a beneficial owner … even if they’re not actually an owner.
Why is all of this so important? Because for many LLCs, the deadline to file this report is coming FAST, as in New Year 2025.
And the penalty for not filing? You guessed it: over $500 PER DAY, up to $10,000, and 2 years in jail.
So if you’re still reading, you may be impacted. And if so, that means you need to take 20 minutes of your life and listen to our episode about the Act, how to be compliant, and a few best practices.
Take a listen and save yourself some money… and possibly your freedom!
