The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) was enacted by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) to combat money laundering and financial crimes. The act seeks some 32 million businesses to report beneficial ownership information by January 13, 2025. This episode, Wes Benally discusses the impact to Tribal businesses and entities that will report to the CTA, exemptions, reporting information, and more, with REDW Senior State and Local Tax Advisors Jeanna Schenk and Thomas Miller. Unsure if the CTA applies to your organization? Don’t guess. Tune in to learn more or reach out to REDW’s trusted business advisors for guidance.

Takeaways
