Welcome everyone to the Main Street Business Podcast. This is Matt Sorensen. We have a really important

0:04.5

update for those with LLC's incorporations, this B-O-I requirement we've been tracking. I wanted to make

0:10.6

sure I gave you the update on it. Please enjoy this recording of my latest update and what you need

0:15.6

to know about for B-O-I's for your LLC incorporation. All right, the B-O-I report is officially dead. The U.S. Treasury

0:22.3

announced yesterday with the press release saying the Corporate Transparency Act, which requires

0:28.4

LLC owners and corporations to file this BOI report, will not be enforced. The Treasury Department

0:35.5

being the Biden rule. We're going to come back

1:26.5

You never had to do this with LLCs and corporations until last year.

1:30.6

Now, that has been ruled unconstitutional, ruled constitutional.

1:33.9

The courts have been battling with it.

1:35.5

And no one knew where Trump was going to land on this.

1:38.6

He had not commented on this, nor had the Treasury Department.

1:41.9

Well, two weeks ago, the last court order was removed, and you had to now file this B-O-I report. So even we went out and said, there's no more left. The U.S. Supreme Court has said it's valid for now. They're still considering it. There's still a case at the U.S. Supreme Court. We're going to come back to that. That's important. But they've said, until that case is
