New Federal Reporting Requirement for Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI)

* If your company was created or registered prior to January 1, 2024, you will have until January 1, 2025 to report BOI. *

Effective January 1, 2024, many companies in the United States must report information about their beneficial owners—the individuals who ultimately own or control the company—to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Unless a company needs to update or correct information, a report only needs to be submitted once.
