This is fantastic.
For those that don't know, some context.
Certain states (WY, NV, and many others) don't force you to list shareholders. You only have to list the "manager" or "managing member".
The shareholders are handled privately via a private Operating Agreement.
This act basically circumvented this privacy protection and mandated that all businesses report all shareholders to Feds.

Of course, the CTA requires everyone to report to the feds, even if they are in a state that hates privacy. And a huge fine if you don't report. With generous exemptions for large businesses.
So basically an attack on both privacy and small businesses.

With generous exemptions for large businesses.
Also public companies by their nature have known shareholders, so yeah...this is basically targeted specifically against small businesses.
The rumor mill (according to my CPA), was this was the motivation for the new 70,000 IRS agents that was all over the news in 2022. Massive audits against small businesses.

Any why are so few states not forcing this? This is what I always ask my friends in "conservative" and "freedom loving" states.
