BOI reporting tracker implementation

Important Update: BOI Reporting for US Business Owners & LLC Founders The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has issued an interim final rule significantly changing Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements. As of March 21, 2025, U.S. companies and U.S. persons are now exempt from BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act. Who Needs to Report? Only entities formed under the law of a foreign country that have registered to do business in any U.S. State or Tribal jurisdiction (formerly 'foreign reporting companies') are still required to report BOI to FinCEN. Key Deadlines for Foreign Reporting Companies: Initial reports, updates, or corrections must be filed within 30 calendar days after the rule's publication date (March 26, 2025) or 30 days after the entity's registration to do business in the U.S., whichever is later. What to Report: Reports are submitted electronically via FinCEN's secure e-filing system. You'll need identifying information for the reporting company and for each beneficial owner: full legal name, date of birth, current address, an identifying document number (e.g., driver's license, passport), and an image of that ID. FinCEN Identifiers can simplify future filings. Who is a Beneficial Owner? An individual who exercises substantial control or owns/controls at least 25% of ownership interests. Practical Steps for Compliance (if you're a foreign-formed entity registered in the U.S.): * Inventory & Classification: Maintain an entity master list, identifying foreign-formed entities registered in the U.S. * Data Collection: Gather required beneficial owner data (name, DOB, address, ID, image) securely. * Monitor Timelines: Track registration effective dates and set reminders for initial and update filing deadlines (within 30 days of a trigger event). * Security & Privacy: Ensure strong encryption, access controls, and multi-factor authentication for BOI data. * State Integration: Monitor state-level registration filings to identify trigger dates for BOI reports. * Updates: Define and track reportable events (e.g., ownership changes, address changes) to ensure timely updates within 30 days. Stay informed as FinCEN may issue further guidance or final rules.
