Do I have to file a beneficial ownership information (BOI) report with FinCEN?

Last updated: Nov 11, 2026, 19:04 (UTC+08:00)

No, not for a company formed in the US. The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) exempted US-formed companies by an interim final rule in March 2025, and a final rule effective 14 August 2026 made the exemption permanent (FinCEN, as of September 2026). Only companies formed abroad and registered to do business in a US state still report.
