Small Entity Compliance Guide
Beneficial ownership information reporting requirements are now back in effect, with a new deadline of March 21, 2025, for most companies. Prior to March 21, 2025, FinCEN will assess its options for further modifying deadlines. For more information, see our website https://fincen.gov/boi.
Beneficial ownership information reporting requirements were previously halted by court orders between December 3, 2024, and February 18, 2025. While these orders were in effect, reporting companies were not required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN; however, reporting companies could voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports. With limited exception, the court orders have been stayed, and beneficial ownership information reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) are again in effect, with new deadlines.
The guidance issued below has not yet been fully updated to account for this new deadline. Thus, any guidance here indicating that companies must report beneficial ownership information before March 21, 2025, should be disregarded.
