Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report Filing
**Current clients receive this service at a discounted rate** 

What is the BOI:

  • Starting in 2024, the Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network  (also known as FinCEN) is requiring business owner's to complete a “BOI” filing to help them avoid fraudulent activity. The BOI report is fairly straightforward and simply asks for your business and ownership information (no income or expenses are reported). Business owners are expected to file once to initially register their business in FinCEN’s database, and then update it as needed if their business information changes.

 

Who has to file:

  • Limited Liability Companies (LLC), Incorporations (INC) and any business entity that has formation documents with a secretary of state.

 

When is the filing due:

  1. Businesses in existence prior to 2024 have until January 1st, 2025 to complete the filing.

  2. Businesses formed during the 2024 year must complete the filing within 90 days of formation.

  3. Businesses formed in 2025 and on must complete the filing within 30 days of formation.

 

Penalties for not filing:

Willful failure to file a BOI report could result in a $500-per-day fine, up to $10,000 total, and up to two years in prison.

 

How to file:

 

Be on the look out for scams

  1. Be cautious of emails asking you to click unsecure links, submit payments or provide sensitive information related to this filing. There have been fraudulent attempts to get information from people this way.

  2. Be cautious of companies sending you letters that make it seem as though you have to pay them to file for you. You can file this yourself for free, and you do not need a third party company to do it for you. You are welcome to work with a trusted third party company (like us) to file for you if you want to, but it is not required.

  3. If you get suspicious letters, show them to your tax professional to confirm if it's legitimate or not.
