The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) has imposed new reporting obligations on many businesses. Our step-by-step guide will help you understand and fulfill your reporting requirements.
Step 1: Determine if You’re a Reporting Company
The first step is to assess whether your company falls under the CTA's jurisdiction. This involves considering factors such as your company's structure, size, and activities.
Step 2: Identify Your Beneficial Owners
Once you've determined that your company is subject to the CTA, you need to identify all of your beneficial owners. This may require gathering information from shareholders, partners, and other stakeholders.
Step 3: Gather Required Information
For each beneficial owner, you must collect the following information:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Current residential address
- Unique identifying number
- A photocopy of identification
Step 4: Create Your Report
Using the collected information, you must create a BOI report that accurately reflects your company's ownership structure.
Step 5: File Your Report
The report must be filed electronically through FinCEN's Beneficial Ownership Secure System (BOSS). Be sure to follow the specific instructions and deadlines provided by FinCEN.
Step 6: Maintain Records
After filing your report, it's important to maintain accurate records of your beneficial ownership information to ensure compliance with the CTA and address any future inquiries.
