Treasury small business ownership rule on hold as court eyes constitutionality

Key Points

Small businesses had been required to report “beneficial ownership information” to the Treasury Department by Jan. 13, 2025, or risk financial penalties.

Businesses aren’t required to file a BOI report and won’t face liability while that order is in effect.
It will likely be in force until at least March, one legal expert said.
