Corporate Transparency Act - Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR)
The Corporate Transparency Act went into effect January 1, 2024 and requires disclosure of beneficial ownership information (BOI). It's not part of the tax code, but part of the Bank Secrecy Act. That means that the reports will be filed with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCen) which is part of the Department of Treasury. Existing entities will be required to file by January 1, 2025. To file your BOIR online, please go here https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/ You should have the following information handy before you start:
