    Great video, however, you're mistaken the government does share information between agencies. Please see the 1974 and 1988 Data Matching and Privacy Act. Also once you get past the criminal portion of the CTA, it is a data-matching database. You failed to mention tax-exempt nonprofits do NOT have to comply with the CTA.

    When dissolving any businesses, Corp, LLC, owner proprietor DBA checking account, etc, make sure you keep all documentation of sending legal documentation closing all of your bank accounts, dissolving corporation accounts, accounts with stores, businesses, etc. Send letters to the owners of these companies that do business with you in any business name, other than your personal name. Make sure you get a reply from these companies acknowledging the closing of your business name accounts. If you are no longer doing business in a business name, then officially end all business activities in that name and document it. If all of your business cease before the end of 2024, then why would anyone file to the BOI if all activity ceased?

    I didn't even know this existed until my CPA mentioned it. In my circle of little S-Corp or small business owner friends that have been filing themselves to try and save some money instead of a CPA, most of them didn't even know this was a thing until I said something. I really wonder how many small businesses will get hit with this fine... Thank Biden

    Hello James, quick question. What happens if I have my LLC but I'm a foreigner and I'm not a US resident, but my company is only limited to provide software development services fully remote, ergo I don't need a physical address in US. What can I do in this case, considering the BOI requires this address field in the form?
