Topic: 

On January 1, 2021, Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which includes the Corporate Transparency Act (the CTA). This Act will affect every LLC, S Corporation, C Corporation, and any other entity required to be “registered” with their respective state. This Act was developed to curve and expose illicit activity, money laundering, and concealment of ownership. Furthermore, this Act was developed to protect the United States and our National Security Interest. This course will present tax professionals with valuable knowledge on this act and how it will impact their practice and clients.

•Evaluate what is the CTA
•Provide updates to Final Regulations
•Explain who must file, when they must file, and who is exempt
