Beneficial Ownership Info (BOI) Reporting Reinstated

On Tuesday, a federal court lifted the injunction that was preventing FinCEN from enforcing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements under the CTA.

This is the language posted by FinCEN informing small businesses they now have 30-days to file:

With the February 18, 2025, decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Smith, et al. v. U.S. Department of the Treasury, et al., 6:24-cv-00336 (E.D. Tex.), beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) are once again back in effect. However, because the Department of the Treasury recognizes that reporting companies may need additional time to comply with their BOI reporting obligations, FinCEN is generally extending the deadline 30 calendar days from February 19, 2025, for most companies.

What are your Next Steps?
