As 2024 quickly comes to a close, we want to ensure all our clients are prepared for a successful 2025. Our records indicate that you may be required to file a BOI report.
The BOI reporting requirement, effective January 1, 2024, is part of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) of 2021. This law mandates that most small businesses report their ownership information to the U.S. Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The CTA aims to strengthen anti-money laundering efforts and prevent activities like terrorist financing, corruption, and tax fraud.

Key deadlines to note:
- For businesses created or registered before January 1, 2024: The initial report is due by January 1, 2025.
- For businesses created or registered on or after January 1, 2024: The initial report is due 90 days after the entity’s creation or registration.
- Any changes to previously filed information must be reported within 30 days of the change.
