Not Familiar with the BOI Report?
You're not alone. Even though the law mandating the Beneficial Ownership Information Report passed Congress in January 2021, most people are just now learning about it. The bill gained little public attention when it was before Congress, even though the legislation impacts tens of millions of small businesses.
Follow this link to find out more about the BOI, its purpose, the reporting requirements, and their implications for your business. Also see our FAQs page and the Things You Should Know section below.

Unsure Whether You Must File?
The odds are, you do — along with about 37 million other small businesses.
It all depends on how your company is structured and organized.
While certain small businesses are exempt, most whose formation involved registration with a state, territorial, or native American tribal government must file a BOI report.
Find out for Free!
Compliance BOI's free online assessment quickly determines whether your business falls into one of about two dozen categories which are exempt from filing the BOI Report.
Who Is Exempt from the
Beneficial Ownership Information Report?
If your business is structured and taxed as a sole proprietorship, the Corporate Transparency Act usually does not apply to it. Your company is exempt from filing even if it uses a DBA or an assumed name.
Your business may also be exempt if it meets BOTH of the following criteria:
- It has more than 20 fulltime employees, and
- Its revenue in the preceding year exceeded five million dollars
Other exemptions vary state by state. In most cases, joint ventures and general partnerships are exempt. However, most limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, LLCs, and corporations must file.
The filing requirement extends to inactive companies which have retained their legal existence. For those formed in 2020 or later, filing is mandatory. Companies formed prior to 2020 are exempt if they meet certain criteria. But this exemption ends if the inactive company resumes business.
The statements above are general in nature and may not apply to your specific situation. Be sure to verify that your company qualifies for an exemption.

Things You Should Know
- The U.S. Treasury Department's BOI instructions define beneficial ownership in broad terms. Included in the definition are people not normally described as owners. (For more info on this topic, see our FAQs page question, "Who is considered a beneficial owner?")
- BOI regulations require you to submit the following personal information for anyone who meets the government's definition of a "beneficial owner":
- full legal name
- date of birth
- current residential address
- personal identification information
- a scanned copy of a current government photo ID (e.g., a driver's license or passport)
- You must file updated reports whenever any beneficial owner makes a name change, moves to a different address, or replaces the government ID used for prior BOI filings. In addition, certain internal changes can also trigger update requirements. With but few exceptions, updates are due within 30 days of the change.
- Updates are also necessary within 30 days whenever someone qualifies for the first time as a beneficial owner or when someone loses that status.
- Many CPA firms will not file BOI reports. Advice on how to comply with certain BOI requirements can border on offering legal counsel. In most jurisdictions, CPA's endanger their license if they venture into the practice of law.
- Anyone who fails to file or who submits incorrect information can face steep penalties administered by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). These include:
- Civil penalties of up to $500 per day starting January 2, 2025
- Criminal fines of up to $10,000
- Imprisonment for up to two years
- If you choose to submit the Beneficial Ownership Information reports on your own, be aware that the instruction manual is dozens of pages long and should be read carefully more than once. Guidance in the manual may be unclear at times regarding your specific situation. Allow plenty of time to complete your report.
