Beneficial Owner Information (BOI) Reports Under Federal Corporate Transparency Act
Don't confuse BOI Reports with Public Information Reports (PIRs) or Ownership Information Reports (OIRs)
Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury began accepting Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports as required under the Corporate Transparency Act. A BOI report contains information about individuals who own or control companies doing business in the United States. BOI reports should be filed with the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) through its online Beneficial Ownership Secure System (BOSS). The reports cannot be filed through the Comptroller's office or the Texas Secretary of State, and do not serve as a substitute for PIRs or OIRs. For more information on BOI Reports go to the Treasury Department's website: https://www.fincen.gov/boi.

If your entity's annualized total revenue for the 2024 report year is at or below the no tax due threshold of $2,470,000, you are not required to file a report, but you still must file either a Public Information Report or an Ownership Information Report.
