CTA Deadline Reminder: File Your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Report by December 31, 2024

•2 min read

Don’t miss the Dec. 31, 2024, deadline to file your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). Contact MZLS for assistance.

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) mandates all reporting companies to submit their Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report to FinCEN by December 31, 2024. Non-compliance with this federal requirement can result in significant penalties, including fines of up to $10,000 and imprisonment for up to two years.

We previously covered the CTA’s requirements in detail in our comprehensive article on the Corporate Transparency Act. This is a timely reminder to act now to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.

Who Must File BOI Reports?

The CTA applies to reporting companies, including:

  • Corporations, LLCs, and similar entities created by filing with a U.S. state, territory, or tribal authority.

  • Foreign entities registered to do business in the U.S.

Exemptions

Certain entities are exempt from BOI reporting, based on specific criteria outlined in FinCEN guidelines. For a detailed explanation of exemptions, refer to our previous blog post or contact us for clarification.
