My business received a letter in the mail with a form called Form 5102. The form includes references to the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act and lists penalties for noncompliance.

The envelope in which the form came has a Presorted First-Class Mail U.S. Postage Paid stamp on it. It says "Permit #34" and "mailing from zip code 27407."
