Update as of 12/26: In light of recent federal court activity, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports. More information is available on FinCEN’s website at https://www.fincen.gov/boi
