What is the Business Ownership Interest registration?
The US government has a major issue with tax fraud and money laundering. And most of this illegal activity is done using small LLC’s and corporations. In an effort to stop it, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network created the Corporate Transparency Act. This act requires all small businesses that don’t meet certain exceptions to file a Business Ownership Interest report with FINCEN.
