On December 3, 2024, a federal district court for the Eastern District of Texas issued a nationwise injunction temporarily halting
the enforcement of the Beneficial Ownershiip Information (BOI) reporting requirement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
This decision means your clients are no longer required to meet the January 1, 2025, BOI reporting deadline--for now.
While this is great news, I do not believe the judge had the right to issue a decision covering the entire country. This judge
is a judge in the Easter District of Texas and his jurisdiction is only for the Eastern District of Texas. Our federal judicial
system is such that we can have different federal laws based on where we live. We have numerous cases where the federal
law in one district or circuit is different than in a different district or circuit because the districts or circuits have ruled differently.
That is why we have one Supreme Court at the top. When the Supreme Court rules that becomes the law for the entire country
(at least until Congress changes the law).
I believe this district judge cannot rule for the entire country any more that any district judge could rule that abortions are illegal
for the entire country. I am not a lawyer but I can read the law as well as most lawyers. We will have to wait to see what shakes out next.
Below are several videos that I have put together on various tax topics. These videos tend to be on tax topics that I have covered in previous years in my Tax Update seminars.
Unfortunately there is no CPE credit offered for these videos. You can stop and reengage each video with the space bar.
