BOI Report FAQ's
A beneficial ownership information report is a document that identifies the individuals who own or control a company.
Filing this report helps ensure transparency and compliance with legal requirements, preventing fraud and money laundering.

- A unique business name
- A registered agent and address
- LLC Articles of Organization
- An Employer Identification Number (EIN) if you plan to hire employees or open a business bank account
The report generally requires details such as the beneficial owner’s name, date of birth, address, and the nature of their ownership or control.
The frequency of filing can vary by jurisdiction, but it is often required annually or whenever there are changes in ownership.
Failure to file the report can result in penalties, fines, and potential legal action against the company.
Fines of $500/day, up to $10,000, and 2 years in prison may apply.
The report can usually be filed online through the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) website.

Treasury Halts BOI Reporting Penalties for U.S. Businesses
FinCEN’s interim final rule amends the Corporate Transparency Act, now requiring only foreign entities registered to do business in the U.S. to report beneficial ownership information (BOI). New deadlines apply to foreign entities based on their registration date. FinCEN is immediately halting enforcement of BOI reporting penalties against U.S. citizens and domestic companies.

Treasury Halts BOI Reporting Penalties for U.S. Businesses
The U.S. Treasury Department has announced a major shift in Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act. Treasury will not enforce any penalties or fines for BOI reporting—both under current deadlines and after future rule changes take effect.
Even more notably, Treasury plans to limit BOI reporting to foreign reporting companies only, removing the requirement for U.S. businesses and their owners. This move is designed to reduce regulatory burdens and support small businesses.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called this change “a victory for common sense”, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to cutting unnecessary red tape and boosting economic growth.
This decision marks a significant win for U.S. entrepreneurs, easing compliance concerns and allowing businesses to focus on growth. Stay tuned for further updates as new rules take shape.

Following a February 18, 2025, ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) are once again in effect. However, the Department of the Treasury recognizes that businesses may need additional time to comply. As a result, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has extended the reporting deadline by 30 days, making March 21, 2025, the new deadline for most reporting companies.
Additionally, FinCEN is reviewing options to further ease compliance for lower-risk entities, including many U.S. small businesses. Companies with later reporting deadlines, such as those qualifying for disaster relief extensions, should continue following their assigned deadlines.
For more details on BOI reporting requirements and exemptions, visit FinCEN’s official website.
