While the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) became effective Jan. 1, 2024, the first deadline to report for entities created or registered before Jan. 1, 2024 is fast approaching. For New York owners and boards, complying with the CTA may require them to report information about ownership to the United States government at the beginning of 2025, or earlier for non-exempt entities created or registered on or after Jan. 1, 2024.

Not all buildings and owners are required to report, so understanding who needs to comply is essential. Failure to do so can lead to steep penalties that reflect the serious legal issues the act seeks to address.
