BOIR Reporting and Filing

Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR)

As a company owner or motor carrier, you are now required to report information to FinCEN about the individuals who own or control them. If you do not report the proper information you may face fines.

Who does it apply to?

FinCEN uses 3 main requirements to determine who must report:

  • A corporation, a limited liability company (LLC), or a group created in the US by filing a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe with less than $5,000,000 in gross receipts or sales and less than 20 employees.
  • A foreign company and was registered to do business in any U.S. state or Indian tribe by such a filing.
  • Beneficial owners in the company who generally exercise “substantial control” over a reporting company or own 25% of the ownership interests.

Note: This DOES NOT apply to Sole Proprietorships.
