Regulatory guidance for companies
The newsletter content will provide key regulatory guidance for US business owners and LLC founders, summarizing essential federal and state compliance requirements. It will highlight: **Federal compliance:** Key federal obligations such as obtaining an EIN, IRS tax and employer withholding, DOL/FLSA rules, OSHA safety, FTC marketing, EPA regulations, and sector-specific permits.
A critical update will be on the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting to FinCEN, including filing deadlines for existing companies (Jan 1, 2025) and new companies (within 90 days of creation/registration on/after Jan 1, 2024). **State compliance:** An overview of state-specific requirements, including business formation/registration, annual/biennial reports, potential franchise/excise taxes, sales & use tax, employer withholding, and professional/local licensing.
It will emphasize the state-by-state variation and the importance of timely filings. **Recent regulatory shifts:** Brief mention of expanded state data privacy and worker protection laws, and changes to paid family/medical leave programs and minimum wages. **Avoiding common pitfalls:** A quick guide to common compliance mistakes, such as missed registrations, BOI/FinCEN deadlines, worker misclassification, and sales tax issues. **Actionable steps:** A concise checklist for startups and annual compliance, covering items like EIN acquisition, state registration, operating agreements, tax registrations, permits, insurance, and setting reminders for recurring filings.
The newsletter will serve as a concise summary of the blog post, driving readers to the full blog for detailed information and downloadable resources like the 'State Compliance Quick-Links' table and the 12-step checklist.
It will also include a call to action to consult legal and accounting professionals and provide links to federal and state resources.
