Business owners: The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) establishes a beneficial ownership reporting requirement for corporations, limited liability companies, and other similar entities formed or registered to do business in the United States.

Existing businesses must report within one year (prior to January 1, 2025). New businesses formed or registered on or after January 1, 2024, must report within 30 days of creation or registration.

The CTA provides that willfully reporting or attempting to report false or fraudulent beneficial ownership, or willfully failing to make updates to the data shall be punished with a civil penalty up to $500/day while the violation continues, up to $10,000 and up to two years in prison.

Like 501c3s, c4s are generally exempt from paying income tax. Further, c4s can do extensive lobbying and some political campaigning. Although c4s are exempt from paying income tax, donations to c4s do not qualify as charitable deductions for the donor.

Is an eviction moratorium a violation of landlords’ constitutional rights? An ongoing lawsuit by some Oregon landlords argues that their rights have been violated by the statutes and regulations preventing them from collecting rent, evicting tenants for failure to pay rent, and imposing other restrictions stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic response. The landlords complain that the State’s compensation is too little and essentially requires private landowners to bear the burden of free public housing. Among other things, the lawsuit seeks a plan to adequately compensate landlords for their rental losses incurred because of the eviction moratoria.
