Breaking Update - BOI Reporting is Back: New Filing Deadline Set for January 13, 2025

ROCK HILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / December 26, 2024 / Recent regulatory changes have brought significant updates to the reporting obligations for companies filing beneficial ownership information with FinCEN. Following a federal Court of Appeals decision on December 23, 2024, reporting companies, except as indicated below, are once again required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN.

The Department of the Treasury recognizes that reporting companies may need additional time to comply, given the period when the preliminary injunction had been in effect. As such, the BOI reporting deadlines have been extended as follows:

Updated BOI Filing Deadlines:

1. Reporting companies created or registered before January 1, 2024: The deadline has been extended to January 13, 2025 (originally January 1, 2025) for filing initial BOI reports with FinCEN.

2. Reporting companies created or registered on or after September 4, 2024, that had a filing deadline between December 3, 2024, and December 23, 2024, now have an extended deadline of January 13, 2025.

3. Reporting companies created or registered between December 3, 2024, and December 23, 2024: These companies are granted an additional 21 days from the original filing deadline to file BOI reports.

4. Reporting companies created or registered on or After January 1, 2025: Must file BOI reports within 30 days of receiving actual or public notice of creation or registration.

5. Reporting Companies Qualifying for Disaster Relief: Deadlines may extend beyond January 13, 2025. Follow the later deadline that applies.
