The deadline for most reporting companies to file beneficial ownership information (BOI) reports was extended to Jan. 13, 2025, by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), after a Monday court ruling reinstated the reporting requirement.
After the court order, FinCEN, which enforces the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), announced that, for reporting companies that had been required to report BOI information by Jan. 1, their new filing deadline was Jan. 13.
Reporting deadlines were extended as follows:
- Reporting companies created or registered before Jan. 1, 2024, have until Jan. 13, 2025, to file initial BOI reports with FinCEN. (These companies would otherwise have been required to report by Jan. 1, 2025.)
- Reporting companies created or registered in the United States on or after Sept. 4, 2024, that had a filing deadline between Dec. 3, 2024, and Dec. 23, 2024, have until Jan. 13, 2025, to file initial BOI reports with FinCEN.
- Reporting companies created or registered in the United States on or after Dec. 3, 2024, and on or before Dec. 23, 2024, have an additional 21 days from their original filing deadline to file initial BOI reports with FinCEN.
- Reporting companies that qualify for disaster relief may have extended deadlines that fall beyond Jan. 13, 2025. These companies should abide by whichever deadline falls later.
- Reporting companies that are created or registered in the United States on or after Jan. 1, 2025, have 30 days to file initial BOI reports with FinCEN after receiving actual or public notice that their creation or registration is effective.
