There’s a new filing requirement for your business beginning 1/1/2024!
👉 If you have an LLC or a Corporation, the government will require you to file a Beneficial Ownership Information return with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN) starting in January 2024.
This report will give the government the information on who directly or indirectly owns the LLC or Corporation. They are looking for more transparency in entity ownership so that’s why we have to file these going forward. 😬 There are significant penalties if you don’t file this report by the due dates listed below ($500/day).
📆 If you have an existing LLC or Corporation (that you started before 1/1/24) then you have 1 year to file this report.
📆 If you start a NEW LLC or Corporation in 2024, then you’ll have 90 days to file this report.
📆 If you start a NEW LLC or Corporation after 2025, then you’ll have 30 days to file the report.
