The Corporate Transparency Act remains in effect for most Washington State LLCs and corporations in 2026, despite court challenges that created confusion since early 2025. Most small businesses must file a Beneficial Ownership Information report with FinCEN identifying individuals who own 25% or more of the company or exercise substantial control. Penalties for willful non-compliance run $591 per day in civil fines, with criminal exposure up to $10,000. Simple single-owner entities can self-file through FinCEN’s online portal, while multi-member or tiered ownership structures benefit from legal review. Ownership changes trigger a 30-day update requirement, making this an ongoing compliance obligation rather than a one-time task. Washington business owners in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and surrounding King County communities should verify their filing status now.
