FinCEN Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting

Do you need to report?

If you’re a current business owner or planning to establish a company in 2024 or beyond, it’s vital to understand the new FinCEN BOI reporting requirements. Here’s everything you need to know.

What is FinCEN BOI Reporting?

Starting in 2024, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) mandates that most U.S. companies submit their beneficial ownership information (BOI). This requirement stems from the Corporate Transparency Act, designed to strengthen efforts against money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. Non-compliance can result in significant penalties, including fines of $500 per day, up to a maximum of $10,000.


Who Needs to Report?

This new regulation affects a wide range of business entities, including:

  • Corporations
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)
  • S-corporations
  • Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)
  • Other entities formed by filing documents with any U.S. State

Most for-profit businesses must comply unless they meet specific exemption criteria, which can be easily checked on the official FinCEN page.

Beware of Scams

As the BOI reporting requirement takes effect, unscrupulous businesses are using public business information to send out advertisements that look like official notices. These materials often use official-looking logos and urgent language to pressure you into using their services—at inflated costs or for services you don’t need. See the image on the right for an example of what this could look like.

Here are some red flags to watch out for:

  • Unsolicited mail or email claiming immediate action is required.
  • Offers to file your BOI report at exaggerated prices.
  • Documents resembling government forms but lacking an official FinCEN logo or verification.
