On Friday March 1, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the District of Alabama declared the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) unconstitutional.
In the case of National Small Business Association v. Yellen (Case No. 5:22-cv-01448) [1], initiated by the National Small Business United,
the challenge was against the CTA's mandate for small businesses to disclose their beneficial owners to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
The ruling has the effect of suspending all BOI filing requirements for now, all enforcement actions, and all compliance concerns including
questions of "practicing law without a license." Experts believe the ruling will be appealed, probably to the Supreme Court, so this is a
temporary filing requirement suspension until a final appeal is exhausted. Voluntary filing appears to still be allowed if for some reason
a client desires to file.
On March 4, 2024, FinCEN issued a notice announcing that it will not enforce the BOI requirements against the plaintiffs: the National Small
Business Association (NSBA) and its 65,000 members and an Alabama businessman.
Bottom Line: Every business meeting the criteria is subject to the BOI Reporting Requirements except those that were a member of NSBA on March 1, 2024.
