BOI Reporting

what is beneficial ownership information (boi)

Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) is essential for company compliance and transparency. Under the Corporate Transparency Act of 2021, many U.S. companies must report their ultimate owners or controllers to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

The goal of BOI reporting is to help combat illegal activities like money laundering and terrorism financing by enhancing understanding of business ownership. By requiring companies to disclose their beneficial owners, regulators aim to reduce the risks of anonymous ownership and improve financial transparency.

TAXGUYS specializes in guiding companies through the complex BOI reporting process, ensuring they identify beneficial owners, gather the necessary data, and submit accurate information to FinCEN on time.

When Do I Report?

The timeline for BOI reporting depends on when your company was founded or registered. For specific requirements, contact a TAXGUYS.

Companies Founded or Registered Prior to January 1, 2024: These organizations must submit their first Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report by January 1, 2025.

Companies Founded or Registered in 2024: For companies established in 2024, the 90-day reporting period begins upon receiving formal notice of the company’s formation or registration. This notice can be in the form of either an official notification or a public record.

Companies Created or Registered After January 1, 2025: Companies established after January 1, 2025, will be required to submit their BOI report within 30 days from the date their formation or registration is publicly announced.

P.S: FinCEN Notification Any updates or revisions to previously submitted BOI data must be reported to FinCEN within 30 days of the change occurring.

Key Points About the BOIR:

  • Mandated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
  • Applies to most U.S. businesses, including corporations, LLCs, and similar entities
  • Deadline for filing: January 1, 2025
  • Non-compliance penalties: Failure to file may result in fines up to $500 per day

What Information is Reported?

Under the BOIR (Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting) requirements, businesses are obligated to disclose specific details about their beneficial owners, including:

  • Full legal name
  • Date of birth
  • Current residential or business address
  • Unique Identifier (e.g., passport number, driver’s license number, or other government-issued ID)

Why is the BOIR Important?

The BOIR helps:

  • Helps prevent money laundering and financial crimes by identifying individuals who ultimately own or control companies, making it harder to hide illicit activities.
  • Enhances corporate transparency by ensuring accountability for those behind legal entities, promoting ethical business practices.
  • Supports law enforcement and regulatory bodies in tracking suspicious financial activity, aiding investigations and enforcement efforts.
