Beneficial Ownership Filing

First Option Bank and Wolters Kluwer are partnering to help small businesses file Beneficial Ownership Information Reports.

 

 

In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports.

 

What is the Beneficial Ownership Information report & the Corporate Transparency Act?

BOI reporting is part of the Corporate Transparency Act that Congress passed in 2021 to crack down on money laundering, financing of terrorism, tax fraud and other illegal acts. The BOI report will contain personal identifying information about a company's beneficial owners that will be filed with FinCEN - the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement network.
