As tax filing season draws closer, many people are looking for help filing a tax return. At this time of year, many “ghost preparers” pop up offering dubious tax advice. It might be hard to know how to distinguish a legitimate tax professional who offers excellent help from a shady preparer that can mislead taxpayers before disappearing. The IRS urges taxpayers to do some research first. Use the directory on our website to find a tax professional with the credentials that are right for you.

As of 2024, a new federal law requires many U.S. businesses to submit a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). The deadline for most businesses is December 31, 2024. Failure to file the BOI report by the deadline could result in daily fines of up to $500.

You can file the form for free at https://boiefiling.fincen.gov/

ATTENTION: What’s a BOI report? The BOI report provides information on the individuals who directly or indirectly own or control your company. This new requirement aims to increase transparency and combat financial crimes.

Many businesses, including corporations and LLCs, are required to file a BOI report.

This BOI filing requirement applies to:
- LLCs
- Corporations
- Limited Partnerships
- Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
- Business Trusts
- Other similar entities created by filing with a state or tribal office
