What is the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR)?
BOIR Filing requirements are part of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) of 2021, and company information is submitted to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The FinCEN was created to increase transparency in business ownership and help combat financial crimes.
Congress passed these laws in 2021, effective on January 1, 2024. Companies must now submit their BOIR, which requests details about the owners and specific operational information about the business. This information needs to be filed accurately and completely. Fines for non-compliance can now cost companies up to $591 daily (up to $10,000).
Essential Parts About the BOIR Filing:
- This applies to most U.S. businesses
- Deadline for filing is January 1st, 2025
- Required by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
- Failure to file can result in penalties of up to $591 per day (up to $10,000 in total)
Requirements and Guidelines of the BOIR:
The number of guidelines, information, and changing criteria for filing a BOI Report is immense. This spiderweb of details can be found on the Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) website. To help navigate your BOI Filing, contact your CPA or Business Estate Attorney. Fishbein Law Group specializes in filing BOIRs accurately and quickly while providing the filing company with FinCEN acceptance documentation. Call us at (520) 797-1400.
The Purpose behind the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR)
The purpose of the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) was for the U.S. Department of the Treasury to increase companies’ visibility and tracking. Under the CTA, this federal reporting program will help deter the opportunity for illegal activities like money laundering and terrorist funding activity while improving corporate accountability and assisting law enforcement investigations. Those organizations required to file a BOIR include small and large companies, such as LLCs, S-Corps, and C-Corps.
BOI Reports are filed electronically to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in the interest of national security. Failure to file could result in criminal and civil penalties and fines. As such, any BOIR Filings should be completed and submitted with the utmost care, accuracy, and timeliness.
Deadline for BOI Reports Filing
Generally, a company established before January 1, 2024, is required to submit its initial BOI reports by January 1, 2025. For companies formed in 2024, the report must be filed within 90 days of creation. Starting in 2025, newly formed companies must submit the report within 30 days. Additionally, any updates to the information regarding the company or its beneficial owners must be reported within 30 days of the change.
Who needs to File a BOI Report?
As stated in the Federal Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), specific entities, including corporations, S-Corps, and LLCs, are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN, a bureau within the Department of Treasury. Failure to file could result in significant civil and criminal penalties.
Who is required to file a BOI report?
Unless an entity qualifies for a CTA exemption, all LLCs, S-Coprs, Corporations, and any other entity created through a secretary of state document must file a BOI report.
Who classifies as a Beneficial Owner?
A Beneficial Owner is an individual who owns or controls at least 25 percent of the company or entity’s ownership interests or directly or indirectly manages significant control over it.
