Mark Peterson leads an in-depth discussion on the anticipated shifts in Washington, exploring how new leadership could impact tax legislation, the IRS, and regulatory bodies. We’re joined by Phil Lam from FinCEN, who provides critical insights on Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act, including what CPAs and firms need to know as the January 1st compliance deadline approaches.
