Treasury Department may fine small businesses $10,000 or more if they don’t file this new report 1/2

Key Points

• The Corporate Transparency Act of 2021 requires many businesses to report beneficial ownership information by Jan. 1, 2025, in an effort to curb crime through shell companies.

• About 32.6 million businesses are subject to the new BOI reporting, according to federal estimates.

• Individuals who “willfully” violate the requirement may be subject to fines of $10,000 or more and possible jail time.

• A federal court in Texas temporarily halted enforcement.

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen following a tour of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in Vienna, Virginia, on Jan. 8, 2024.

Small businesses and their owners could face penalties of $10,000 or more if they don’t comply with a new U.S. Treasury Department reporting requirement by year’s end — and evidence suggests many haven’t yet complied.

The Corporate Transparency Act, passed in 2021, created the requirement. The law aims to curb illicit finance by asking many businesses operating in the U.S. to report beneficial ownership information to the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, also known as FinCEN.

Many businesses have a Jan. 1, 2025, deadline to submit an initial Beneficial Ownership Information Report.

This applies to about 32.6 million businesses, including certain corporations, limited liability companies and others, according to federal estimates.

The Treasury Department did not respond to CNBC’s request for comment on the number of BOI reports that have been filed to date.

How Americans are losing their life savings to crypto fraud

The data helps identify the people who directly or indirectly own or control a company, making it “harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains through shell companies or other opaque ownership structures,” according to FinCEN.

“Corporate anonymity enables money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorism and corruption,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said in a January announcement of the BOI portal launch.

Here’s the kicker: Businesses and owners who don’t file may face civil penalties of up to $591 a day for each day their violation continues, according to FinCEN. That sum is adjusted for inflation. Additionally, they can face up to $10,000 in criminal fines and up to two years in prison.

“To a small business, suddenly you’re staring at a fine that could sink your business,” said Charlie Fitzgerald III, a certified financial planner based in Orlando, Florida, and a founding member of Moisand Fitzgerald Tamayo.

The federal government had received about 9.5 million filings as of Dec. 1, according to statistics FinCEN provided to the office of Rep. French Hill, R-Ark., who has called for the repeal of the Corporate Transparency Act. Hill’s office provided the data to CNBC.

That figure is about 30% of the estimated total.

FinCEN was receiving a volume of about 1 million new reports per week as of early December, Hill’s office said.

Many businesses may not be aware

A “beneficial owner” is a person who owns at least 25% of a company’s ownership interests or has “substantial control” of the entity, according to FinCEN.

Businesses must report information about their beneficial owners, including name, birth date, address and information from an ID such as a driver’s license or passport, in addition to other data.

Companies that existed prior to 2024 must report by Jan. 1, 2025. Those created in 2024 have 90 calendar days from their effective date of formation or registration to file; those created in 2025 or later have 30 days.

There are multiple exceptions to the requirement: For example, those with more than $5 million in gross sales and more than 20 full-time employees may not need to file a report.

Many exempt businesses — such as large companies, banks, credit unions, tax-exempt entities and public utilities — already furnish similar data.

Brian Nelson, the Treasury Department’s under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, said in an interview at the Hudson Institute in February that the agency was “on a full court press” to spread awareness about the BOI registry, which opened Jan. 1.

But it seems many business owners either aren’t complying with or aren’t aware of the requirement, despite outreach efforts.

The scope of national compliance is “bleak,” the S-Corporation Association of America, a business trade group, said in early October.

The “vast majority” of businesses hadn’t yet filed a report, “meaning millions of small business owners and their employees will become de facto felons come that start of 2025,” it said.

Enforcement is up in the air

However, the situation isn’t quite that grim, others said.

For one, a federal court in Texas on Dec. 3 temporarily blocked the Treasury Department from enforcing the BOI reporting rules, meaning the agency can’t impose penalties while the court conducts a more thorough review of the rule’s constitutionality.

“Businesses should still be filing their information,” said Erica Hanichak, government affairs director at the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency Coalition. “The deadline itself hasn’t changed. It just changes enforcement of the law.”

The rising tide of real estate cyber crime

The government is expected to appeal, and enforcement “could resume” if the injunction is reversed, wrote attorneys at the law firm Fredrikson.

Additionally, Treasury said it would only impose penalties on a person or business who “willfully violates” BOI reporting requirements.

The agency isn’t out for “gotcha enforcement,” Hanichak said.

“FinCEN understands this is a new requirement,” FinCEN said in an FAQ. “If you correct a mistake or omission within 90 days of the deadline for the original report, you may avoid being penalized. However, you could face civil and criminal penalties if you disregard your beneficial ownership information reporting obligations.”

'Gov't knows best': Biden admin breaks Obama record for filling Federal Register with most regulations

'Gov't knows best': Biden admin breaks Obama record for filling Federal Register with most regulations

President Biden's administration has filled up the Federal Register with more pages of regulations than any other president in history, breaking President Barack Obama's record.

As of last week, on Dec. 3, the Biden administration set a new federal record for the most Federal Register pages filled in a single year 96,088. The number puts the administration on pace to fill more than 100,000 pages by the end of its term.

The record was previously held by Obama, who, in the final year of his second term, filled 95,894 pages.

The Federal Register, which is published by the National Archives and Records Administration and overseen by the Office of the Federal Register, is a daily publication of new and amended federal regulations.

"Federal Register page counts are a highly imperfect gauge of regulatory burden. Biden’s milestone, though, still underscores the expanding scope of federal intervention," said Clyde Wayne Crews Jr., fellow at the Washington-based nonprofit the Competitive Enterprise Institute."The record-setting 2024 Federal Register provides a stark reminder of the scale of the regulatory state, and it ain’t even done yet."

During the final year of President-elect Trump's first term in office, the Federal Register saw its fourth-largest number of pages filled. However,Crews said that number was likely inflated by efforts to eliminate rules that require agencies to issue new ones, as well as emergency COVID-19 pandemic measures.

Meanwhile, during Trump's first year in office, 2017, there were fewer pages added to the Federal Register than anyone since Bill Clinton in 1993, Crews pointed out.

Shortly after entering the Oval Office in 2017,Trump issued Executive Order 13771, which initiated a new federal rulemaking process requiring that for every single regulation added by the Trump administration, two must be taken away. The result of this was net cost savings throughout Trump's first term, Crews said.

Trump has signaled that he will expand his deregulation efforts during his second term, pledging to erase 10 regulations for every new one added.

Machalagh Carr, director of the Center for Legal Action at the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, told Fox News Digital that with the incoming Trump administration "a new day is dawning and help is on the way."

"For the last four years, [the Biden administration] has done their very best to strangle American free enterprise with a blizzard of unworkable regulations and mandates," Carr said. "The political appointees calling the shots in the Biden administration have a hostile view of the innovators and companies that power our economy and believe that government knows best."
