FinCEN Beneficial Ownership Guidance

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has published its first set of guidance materials regarding the upcoming beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements taking effect on January 1, 2024. The new regulations require many corporations, limited liability companies, and other entities created in or registered to do business in the United States to report information about their beneficial owners - the persons who ultimately own or control the company - to FinCEN.

The following materials are now available on FinCEN's beneficial ownership information reporting webpage, www.fincen.gov/boi:

• Answers to Frequently Asked Questions (www.fincen.gov/boi-faqs) about the reporting requirement
• One Pagers on Filing Dates (https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/BOI_Reporting_Filing_Dates-Published03.24.23_508C.pdf) and Key Questions (https://www.fincen.gov/sites/default/files/shared/BOI_Reporting_Key_Questions_Published_508C.pdf)
• An Introductory Video (httpsyoutu.be/nx48tPUbRK0) and a more detailed Informational Video (youtu.be/qP5V9k3ypl0) about the reporting requirement.

FinCEN will not be accepting any beneficial ownership information before January 1, 2024. Information on how to submit beneficial ownership information to FinCEN will be forthcoming.
