    Congress’s passage of the Corporate Transparency Act in 2021 requires many businesses in the United States to file information about ownership or control, called Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). The U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is tasked with managing the BOI reports.

    Companies registered to do business in the United States before January 1, 2024 must complete the BOI report by January 1, 2025. Companies registering their business after January 1, 2024 and before January 1, 2025 have 90 days after receiving notice of the company’s creation or registration to file its initial BOI report.

    Information about BOI reports, what information is required, and who is exempt from reporting can be found in the FinCEN Beneficial Ownership Reporting Outreach and Education Toolkit linked HERE.
