#564 The BOI is Back! 99% of Small Business Owners Must File By March 19th

In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen explain FinCEN’s BOI requirement and what it means for LLCs and corporations. With compliance deadlines approaching fast, they provide expert guidance on how to file properly and avoid costly fines.

Here are some of the highlights:

• Mark and Mat discuss the recent developments, including the overturning of a previous injunction and the reinstatement of BOI enforcement by FinCEN.
• Mat provides the new deadline for filing the BOI in 2025.
• Mat details the information required for the BOI, including the name of the business, tax ID, EIN, and the names and home addresses of owners and those with substantial control.
• Importance of listing all owners, including those who own 25% or more and those with control through trusts or other entities.
• Context of the policy behind the BOI, aiming to prevent money laundering and other illegal activities by requiring transparency in business ownership.
• The process of filing the BOI through the FinCEN website or using their law firm's services, which can help simplify the process.
• Discussion on the exceptions to filing the BOI, including entities with more than 25 employees or $5 million in revenue.
• Mark and Mat strongly urge filing even if the entity has not been active, as non-use does not exempt the requirement.
