Constitutional Challenges to the Corporate Transparency Act

• The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) faces constitutional challenges, primarily focusing on the Commerce Clause.
• Opponents argue that forming an entity isn't inherently interstate commerce, citing the Affordable Care Act case.
• The government contends that entity formation is economic activity, even locally, with potential interstate impact, citing a marijuana regulation case.
• Other challenges involve First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Tenth Amendment violations, citing privacy concerns against national security needs.
• The CTA, passed under the Trump administration, faces an uncertain future with a new Congress.
