Who Has to Report?
Companies required to report are called reporting companies. Reporting companies may have to obtain information from their beneficial owners and report that information to FinCEN. Your company may be a reporting company and need to report information about its beneficial owners if your company is: A corporation, a limited liability company (LLC), or was otherwise created in the United States by filing a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe; or a foreign company and was registered to do business in any U.S. state or Indian tribe by such a filing.
How Do I Report?
Reporting companies report beneficial ownership information electronically through FinCEN?s website: www.fincen.gov/boi. The system provides a confirmation of receipt once a completed report is filed with FinCEN. When Do I Report? FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024. If your company was created or registered prior to January 1, 2024, you will have until January 1, 2025, to report BOI. If your company is created or registered in 2024, you must report BOI within 90 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that your company?s creation or registration is effective, whichever is earlier. If your company is created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, you must file BOI within 30 calendar days after receiving actual or public notice that its creation or registration is effective.
Any updates or corrections to beneficial ownership information that you previously filed with FinCEN must be submitted within 30 days. Want to learn more? Visit: www.fincen.gov/boi
