  2. The Business enabled after Jan 1, 2024 and before Jan 1, 2025 has 90 days after receiving official enabling recognition from the State to file the FinCen BOI report.

  3. The Business enabled after Jan 1, 2025 has 30 days after receiving official enabling recognition from the State to file the FinCen BOI report.

  4. Businesses that are NOT required to be enabled or recognized by the State are not required to file the FinCen BOI, which may apply to some Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships and Joint Ventures.

 

The Business Owner, Stockholder, Member, Partner, Co-Venture can file the FinCen BOI easily in the following website:
