- Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) Compliance: Under the CTA, many companies must file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN.

- Beneficial Ownership Reporting: When your ownership structure changes, you have to update your BOI report within 30 days. We track those changes for you, collect the updated information, and file amendments on time. That way, your company stays in good standing and you avoid penalties for late or missing updates.
- Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) Filings: If your business makes or receives certain cross-border payments, you may need to file a BE-10, BE-12, or BE-15 report with the BEA. We review your transactions, determine which form applies, and prepare the required schedules. Then we submit your report and confirm its acceptance.

- ITIN Renewals: ITINs expire if they aren’t used on a return for three straight years or if you receive an expiration notice. To avoid filing interruptions, we monitor your ITIN status and alert you when renewal is due. We prepare the renewal Form W-7, gather any updated documents the IRS requires, and submit everything together.
- ITINs for Nonresident Business Owners: Running a U.S. company as a nonresident comes with extra requirements. We walk you through identity verification (KYC), proof of foreign residence, and entity validation so your application meets IRS standards.
- Tax Filing with ITINs: Filing your tax return alongside your Form W-7 keeps everything in one package and speeds up processing. We bundle your federal return and ITIN application, ensuring both are complete and formatted correctly. If any issue arises, we handle follow-up inquiries and correct errors before they hold up your refund or create penalties.
