If you own an LLC, the Corporate Transparency Act has your name on it. Since January 1, 2024, most limited liability companies operating in the United States are required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report with FinCEN. Miss the deadline and you face $500 per day in civil penalties, up to $10,000, plus potential criminal exposure of up to two years.
Does Your LLC Have to File a BOI Report?
The short answer is almost certainly yes. The CTA applies to any LLC created by filing a document with a state or tribal authority. That covers single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, series LLCs, and most foreign LLCs registered to do business in the United States. The exemptions apply to large operating companies (20+ employees, $5M+ revenue, physical U.S. office) or heavily regulated businesses like banks and credit unions. If your LLC is a standard operating company, holding company, or real estate LLC, assume you must file.
What Are the Filing Deadlines for LLCs?
- LLCs formed before January 1, 2024: Deadline was January 1, 2025. If you have not yet filed, you are already out of compliance.
- LLCs formed in 2024: 90 days from the date of formation.
- LLCs formed on or after January 1, 2025: 30 days from the date your formation documents are filed with the state.
