The last quarter of the year is exciting and can also be a bit daunting. The weather is cooling, leaves are falling, the holidays are approaching. And then there are all the loose ends to tie up in our businesses that can feel a bit stressful or overwhelming. But what if we told you it doesn’t have to be that way? By doing a little each day, you can set yourself up for success so that you can relax and enjoy one of our favorite times of the year. As we near the end of 2024, there are several tax updates to be aware of and prepare for. And don’t worry, it’s nothing that your tax professional can’t handle but do we kind and give them plenty of time to support. 😉 1. New BOI Filing Requirement (Beneficial Ownership Information): What’s changing: Starting in 2024, certain small businesses will need to file Beneficial Ownership Information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This regulation aims to prevent money laundering by requiring companies to disclose the personal information of their beneficial owners. Who it affects: Small businesses, especially LLCs, corporations, and partnerships created in the U.S. or registered to do business in the U.S., are impacted. Some businesses, like publicly traded companies and sole proprietors, are exempt—but check with your tax professional to be sure it is required for you or not. Action: Small businesses should ensure they’re in compliance by gathering the necessary owner information before filing deadlines to avoid penalties.
