As of January 1, 2024, over 32 million businesses are required to file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports to comply with the Corporate Transparency Act. Farmers State Bank has partnered with Wolters Kluwer to provide the BizFilings Beneficial Ownership Reporting Solution, helping businesses comply with this new regulation. This convenient tool simplifies the process of filing Beneficial Ownership Reports, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and avoiding penalties.
BOI reporting is part of the Corporate Transparency Act that Congress passed in 2021 to crack down on money laundering, financing of terrorism financing, tax fraud, and other illegal acts. The BOI will contain personal identifying information about a company’s beneficial owners that will be filed with FinCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the U.S. Department of Treasury.
