What is the CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT and Why Should You Care?

[@BrokenForge]

Ordering someone to turn over all their private information to the police to prove they aren't committing crimes when there is no evidence against them seems like a clear cut violation of the 4th amendment.

[@jimhart]

I’m not arguing the constitutionality of it. But I suppose by your definition, requiring people to file tax returns or apply for EIN numbers would be a problem too? We do this all the time and frankly, after having submitted several of these in the past few months, the information requested is far less than you put on a tax return or other government documents.

@@jimhartThis is a helpful perspective.

[@imsopharill]

what service do you offer if a person not only want's their address to be private, but their name as well?

[@jimhart]

There are lots of businesses and firms that do that type of work. We do not.

Hey Jim question for ya. If I am an author selling books off of amazon as a sole proprietor, and I am using a logo on the bottom cover of said books/ social media platforms. What kind of trademark do I qualify for? How would I file that in taxes when amazon has its on tax sheet for me to use?

Where is the link below?

What are you looking for?

[@brandonpierce1729]

​@jimhart I believe he was referring to the fact that you said you would leave a link to where you needed to go to update the information about the corporate transparency act.. I did'nt see it listed either so I an Assuming that is the link in question.

[@robertturner2451]

Does this defeat the purpose of using a registered agent for privacy purposes? I understand the other benefits of having a registered agent, but solely looking at the privacy aspect of it all.

[@jimhart]

No, the information you submit to FinCEN is not made public, but anything you include on your Articles of Organization is.

[@TeresaMorris-c9n]

If Inc File was used are they the applicant?

[@jimhart]

Good question. I think that is probably correct.

What about a sole proprietorship LLC? I may have missed it in your designations

[@jimhart]

What is that? A sole proprietor is different than an LLC

[@steven.bennett]

I think he means a Single Member LLC (disregarded for federal tax purposes) being treated/taxed as a sole proprietorship.
