Avoid a $500/day fine- file your llc’s or corporation’s Boi report on time.

Is Your Business Sitting on a $500-a-Day Fine or Personal Imprisonment?

You built your LLC or corporation from the ground up, pouring your heart and soul into its success.

But – a hidden deadline lurks, threatening your business with a $500 a day fine and even imprisonment.

The culprit?

The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report.

This new filing requirement, mandated by FinCEN, demands transparency.

FinCEN stands for Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and is a US governmental agency that aims to promote national security by preventing financial crimes.

It wants to know who truly owns and controls US companies, shining a light on the shadows where financial crime often lurks.

This new mandates states that certain US-based LLCs and corporations must file a BOI report, but a few exceptions do apply.

Depending on when your company was formed, you also have a deadline to file this report.

And if you miss the deadline or file an inaccurate report, you could be subject to serious consequences like a $500 a day fine for every day the report is delinquent, imprisonment, and more.

➡️ Who needs to file this BOI report?

Certain US-based limited liability company (LLC or LLC taxes as an S-Corp) and corporations must file a BOI report, but a few exceptions do apply.

Basically, if you have an established and registered LLC/Corporation in the US, then you are required to file this report with FinCEN.

➡️ Who are Beneficial Owners?

These are individuals who:

  • Own 25% or more of the entity's shares (directly or indirectly).

  • Exercise substantial control over the entity, even without owning 25% of the shares.

➡️ When do you need to file the report?

Here are the filing deadlines:

👉 If you formed your LLC/Corp before January 1, 2024: you have until January 1, 2025 to submit the BOI report. 

👉 If you formed your LLC/Corp between January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025: you have 90 days after your LLC/Corp is formed to file the BOI report. 

👉 If you formed your LLC/Corp after January 1, 2025: you have 30 days after your LLC/Corp is formed to file the BOI report. 

➡️ How do you file the report? 

You do not need a CPA or lawyer to file the BOI report for you. In fact, you can do it on your own (but ONLY with the right guidance - it does have some complexities!).
