What is Beneficial Ownership Information and am I required to file?  
Beneficial Ownership Information is identifying information about the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control a company. Beginning January 1, 2024, every company is required to file their Beneficial Ownership Information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. For companies created before 01/01/2024, you have until 01/01/2025 to complete this form.  
 

Where do I file the BOI form? 
You can file this form by visiting the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network website. After you click the link, you can select the “Prepare & Submit BOIR” option. 

 
Can TriStar Tax & Business file this form for me? 
Unfortunately, we cannot file this form for you, but it is super easy to file! All you will need to enter is your full legal name, mailing address, date of birth, and a picture of your driver’s license or real ID for every owner of the company.  

 
The form asks for a FinCEN Id – What is that?  
Unless you have ever had to report a foreign owned bank account before, you will just leave this blank. After completing the form, this ID will be assigned by FinCEN and mailed to you. Be sure to save a copy of the ID for your records.  
 

Do I need to file BOI every year? 
This form will only be filed once unless you have a change in ownership.
