File your Beneficial Ownership Information report
Request fincen boi report and we'll walk you through it step by step.
The Beneficial Ownership Information report is a federal filing made to FinCEN, the Treasury's financial crimes bureau. It is not a tax form and has nothing to do with the IRS. It identifies the individuals who ultimately own or control a company, along with identifying documents for each.
A beneficial owner is broadly defined: anyone who exercises substantial control over the company, or who owns or controls at least 25 percent of it. That sweeps in senior officers and decision-makers who hold no equity at all, which is the part most filers get wrong.
Scope and deadlines for this requirement have been revised more than once since it took effect, so we confirm the current rule before filing rather than working from stale guidance. Your submitted report is retained in your document vault.
Most smaller corporations and LLCs registered to do business in the US, with a defined list of exemptions covering larger and already-regulated entities. We confirm your status against the current rule.
It isn't a recurring annual report, but an updated report is required when the reported ownership or control information changes.
Each beneficial owner's legal name, date of birth, address, and an identifying document number with an image, plus company details.
