On February 10, 2020, FinCEN issued guidance to help clarify a previous ruling on how to file CTRs relative to sole proprietors and entities operating with a trade name or “doing business as” name (DBA). The new rulings go in effect for discrete filers on April 6, 2020, and September 1, 2020, for batch filers.
The new ruling (FIN-2020-R001) was intended to help clarify how CTRs should be filed for sole proprietorships doing business under a single alternate name in a single location as well as for sole proprietorships doing business under multiple alternate names and locations. The ruling also helps to clarify how to file CTRs on legal entities doing business under a single alternate name in a single location as well as legal entities doing business under multiple alternate names in multiple locations.
The following links contain the rulings and guidance on how to file CTRs for each scenario.
