How do I determine if my company has to report?

Are you a large operating company?

To qualify as a "large operating company" and be exempt from the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirements, an entity must meet all of the following three criteria:

Does your entity employ more than 20 full-time employees in the United States?

Based on your responses, your business may NOT have to file a BOI Report as of January 1, 2024.

This conclusion is based on your responses compared to FinCEN's definition of a Regulated Entity.

Should your responses be inaccurate or otherwise not meet the statutory definition, or should your status as a “large” or “regulated” company change, you may have a BOI filing obligation. If you want to speak with an expert, review with your legal team, or use FinCEN Shield Premier Compliance Plan which includes access to our government legal and financial advisory team!

Based on the answers you selected and the definition of a Reporting Company under FinCEN, you are required to file a BOI Report to comply with the CTA (Corporate Transparency Act).

Does your entity have an operating presence at a physical office within the United States, which is a location that the entity owns or leases and is distinct from any other unaffiliated entity?

Did your entity file a federal income tax or information return in the United States for the previous year showing more than $5,000,000 in gross receipts or sales?

This amount should be net of returns and allowances. If the entity is part of an affiliated group of corporations, the consolidated return for the group applies.
