The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) was passed in early 2021 and requires U.S. companies to report their "beneficial owners"—those who own or control at least 25% of the company—to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). This law aims to combat illicit activities like money laundering and terrorism financing. (1)(2)(3)
Most U.S. businesses, including corporations (S-corp, C-corp), limited liability companies (LLCs), and other entities created by a filing with a state or tribal authority, are required to submit BOI reports. Certain exempt entities, like large companies or publicly traded entities, may not need to file.
Approximately 95% of US businesses are expected to file, so odds are you need to file.
See “Who does not have to file (exemptions)?” or p. 11 of FinCEN’s Small Entity Compliance Guide or FinCEN FAQ’s for lots more detail.
According to FinCEN, a "beneficial owner" is defined as an individual who:
- Exercises substantial control over the entity, or
- Owns or controls at least 25% of the ownership interests of the entity.
This person benefits from the company's profits and has a say in how it operates, even if they're not publicly listed as an official owner. For example, someone behind the scenes pulling the strings or having a large share of the company would be considered a beneficial owner.
- Existing companies (formed before January 1, 2024): Must file by January 1, 2025.
- New companies (formed on or after January 1, 2024): Must file within 90 days of formation.
- Companies formed after January 1, 2025: Must file within 30 days of formation.
