What is BOI Reporting?
When Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act, the law created a new “beneficial ownership information” reporting requirement, requiring all specified “reporting companies” to disclose certain beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
Reporting companies are all entities formed or registered to do business in the United States by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar authority, unless they are considered exempt. FinCEN maintains a list of certain entities exempt from the BOI reporting requirements, including specified publicly-traded companies, many nonprofits, and certain large operating companies, among others.
