Frequently Asked Questions

The CTA requires entities to report the individuals with ownership and controlling stake to the federal government. This involves submitting beneficial ownership information (BOI) to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and notifying the agency of any changes to the information as they occur.

 
  • Certain companies — referred to as “reporting companies” — will be required to report their beneficial ownership information to FinCEN. There are two types of reporting companies — domestic reporting companies and foreign reporting companies.
  • A domestic reporting company is defined as —
    • a corporation,
    • a limited liability company, or
    • any other entity created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a state or Indian tribe.
  • A foreign reporting company is any entity that is —
    • a corporation, limited liability company, or other entity formed under the law of a foreign country, AND
    • registered to do business in any U.S. state or in any Tribal jurisdiction, by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office under the law of a U.S. state or Indian tribe.
    • If you had to file a document with a state or Indian Tribal-level office such as a secretary of state to create your company, or to register it to do business if it is a foreign company, then your company is a reporting company, unless an exemption applies.
    • For the definitions of both domestic and foreign reporting companies, a “state” means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and any other commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States.
  • Very few U.S. states or territories require companies to disclose information about their beneficial owners—the individuals who own or control companies. This lack of transparency allows criminals, corrupt officials, and other bad actors to hide their identities and launder illicit funds through the United States using shell and front companies. This in turn hurts ordinary Americans because the lack of transparency results in an uneven playing field for honest and legitimate U.S. businesses. The inaccessibility of beneficial ownership information also makes it hard for law enforcement to track and prosecute criminal activity.
  • In 2021, Congress, with bipartisan support, enacted the Corporate Transparency Act to address this problem. The Corporate Transparency Act requires certain types of U.S. and foreign entities to report information about their beneficial owners to the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, commonly known as FinCEN. FinCEN is responsible for safeguarding the U.S. financial system from illicit use. Subject to strict safeguards and controls, FinCEN will disclose the reported beneficial ownership information to certain authorized government authorities, financial institutions, and other authorized users.
  • By collecting beneficial ownership information and sharing it with law enforcement, financial institutions, and other authorized users, FinCEN is making it harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains. Companies that report beneficial ownership information will contribute to this important goal.
  • Reporting companies formed or registered before January 1, 2024, have until January 1, 2025, to file their initial BOIR.
  • Reporting Companies formed or registered on or after January 1, 2024, have 90 calendar days from receiving actual or public notice of formation to file their initial BOIR.
  • Reporting companies formed or registered on or after January 1, 2025, will have 30 calendar days from receiving actual or public notice of formation to file their initial BOIR.
 
  • The Corporate Transparency Act authorizes FinCEN to disclose beneficial ownership information in certain circumstances to six types of requesters:
    • U.S. Federal agencies engaged in national security, intelligence, and law enforcement activities;
    • State, local, and Tribal law enforcement agencies with court authorization;
    • The U.S. Department of the Treasury;
    • Financial institutions using beneficial ownership information to conduct legally required customer due diligence, provided the financial institutions have their customer consent to retrieve the information;
    • Federal and state regulators assessing financial institutions for compliance with legally required customer due diligence obligations; and
    • Foreign law enforcement agencies and certain other foreign authorities who submit qualifying requests for the information through a U.S. Federal agency.
  • The Corporate Transparency Act imposes stringent access requirements and safeguards on each group of requesters.

Beneficial ownership information refers to identifying information about the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control a company.

 

Key details required include the entity’s name, any trade or DBA names, state of formation, federal EIN, ID number from its domicile Secretary of State, the entity’s primary address within the US, full legal name of each beneficial owner, unique identifying number from an acceptable identification document, and more.

 
 
  • A reporting company will have to report:
    • Its legal name;
    • Any trade names, “doing business as” (d/b/a), or “trading as” (t/a) names;
    • The current street address of its principal place of business if that address is in the United States (for example, a domestic reporting company’s headquarters), or, for reporting companies whose principal place of business is outside the United States, the current address from which the company conducts business in the United States (for example, a foreign reporting company’s U.S. headquarters);
    • Its jurisdiction of formation or registration; and
    • Its Taxpayer Identification Number.
  • A reporting company will also have to indicate the type of filing it is making (that is, whether it is filing an initial report, a correction of a prior report, or an update to a prior report).
  • For each individual who is a beneficial owner or a company applicant, a reporting company will have to report:
    • The individual’s name, date of birth, and address;
    • A unique identifying number from an acceptable identification document; and
    • The name of the state or jurisdiction that issued the identification document.
  • Address: For a beneficial owner, the reporting company must report the residential street address.
  • For a company applicant, the reporting company must report the individual’s residential street address. However, if an individual engages in the business of corporate formation (e.g., as an attorney or corporate formation agent) and files the formation or registration document in the course of that business, then the reporting company must report the current street address of the company applicant’s business. For example, if the company applicant is a paralegal who filed the document while working at a law firm, the reporting company must report the business address of the law firm where the paralegal worked when filing the document.
  • Identification Document: The list below sets out the forms of acceptable identification documents:
    • A non-expired driver’s license issued by a U.S. state. A “U.S. state” means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and any other commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States.
    • A non-expired identification document issued by a U.S. state or local government, or Indian Tribe that is issued for the purpose of identifying the individual. For example, a non-driver identification card issued by a state Department of Motor Vehicles would qualify because it is issued for identification purposes.
    • A non-expired passport issued by the U.S. government; or
    • If the individual does not have any of the three forms of identification document described above, the reporting company may provide the identifying number from a non-expired passport issued by a foreign government.
  • In addition, the reporting company must submit an image of the identification document associated with the unique identifying number reported to FinCEN.
