BOI, Investments, and 1099s—Oh My! Closing Out 2024 Like Pros
Table of Contents
We’ve been talking about this for what feels like forever, but the time is finally here. Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting is officially on your to-do list. Despite my relentless reminders (and newsletter mentions and here ), I know most people are still scratching their heads over this. So, here’s the need-to-know version, boiled down to the essentials.
1. What is BOI Reporting?
The Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report is a filing required by FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a bureau of the Treasury Department). Its purpose? To identify the real owners behind LLCs and corporations, fight money laundering, and prevent shady financial dealings.
Think of it as pulling back the curtain to show who’s really running the show in your business.
2. Who Needs to File and When?
For Existing Entities:
If your LLC or corporation was formed before January 2024, you have until January 1, 2025, to file your BOI report.For New Entities:
Forming an LLC or corporation on or after January 1, 2024? You have 30 days from the date of formation to file.
3. What Information is Reported?
Your BOI report must include:
Entity Details: Basic info about the company (name, address, EIN, etc.).
Beneficial Owners: Details of anyone who owns 25% or more of the company or exercises significant control.
Ownership Changes: Updates if and when ownership or control shifts.
4. What Happens if I Don’t File?
Ignoring this isn’t a great idea. Non-compliance can lead to:
Fines: Up to $10,000.
Imprisonment: Up to 2 years.
The stakes are high, so don’t sleep on this!
5. What’s This About a Court Order?
Recently, there’s been a twist:
What Happened?
A federal district court in Texas issued a temporary injunction to stop enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), which mandates BOI reporting. But don’t celebrate too soon—this is just a temporary measure, and the legal process isn’t over.
Why the Decision?
The court ruled that the CTA likely overstepped constitutional limits by infringing on privacy rights and imposing compliance burdens without enough justification.
What Does This Mean?
For now, there won’t be penalties for failing to comply with the BOI reporting requirements while the injunction is in effect.
However, this could change quickly depending on appeals or legislative adjustments.
Next Steps in the Legal Process:
Appeals and Higher Courts: The DOJ plans to appeal, which means a higher court could uphold, overturn, or modify the injunction.
Policy Adjustments: Congress might tweak the CTA to address constitutional concerns, potentially reshaping compliance requirements.
What We Recommend:
At P&C, we are still advising clients to FILE THE BOI REPORT. Until FinCEN provides clarity, it’s better to comply and avoid future headaches.
6. Who Do I Report To?
The BOI report is filed with FinCEN, the bureau responsible for safeguarding the financial system against money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes.
7. How Do I File?

Client Happy Hour featuring Mike Tyson
A huge thank you to all our clients who joined us at Bar Louie on November 14th! It was such a treat to enjoy a drink and chat outside the usual setting of tax and accounting meetings. Our team loved getting to connect with so many of you, and we can’t wait to do it again soon.
When our event committee planned this night, they worked hard to find a venue that would comfortably accommodate everyone and offer hassle-free parking. They even checked the calendar at Toyota Music Factory next door and confirmed it was clear. But, as luck would have it, a last-minute scheduling change moved the Tyson/Paul Netflix fight weigh-in right next door to our event!
Now, I’d love to tell you Tyson swung by our gathering for some photo ops, but alas, it was just us. (Though that might explain some of the parking challenges!) Despite the unexpected chaos, it was a fantastic evening thanks to our amazing team and clients.
Hats off to our staff for organizing such a fun event, and a heartfelt thank you to all who took time out of their busy schedules to spend it with us. Mark your calendars for 2025—it's my 20th anniversary managing the firm, and we’re planning something truly special to celebrate. Stay tuned!
