Federal (FinCEN) Reporting for U.S. Domestic Companies Removed: * Effective March 26, 2025, FinCEN issued an interim final rule (IFR) exempting U.S. domestic companies and U.S. persons from BOI reporting under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). * This means if your entity is a domestic U.S. company (formed under state law), you are generally no longer required to file BOI reports with FinCEN.2.

Foreign Reporting Companies Still Required to File with FinCEN: * The IFR narrows the definition of "reporting company" to only foreign entities (formed under non-U.S. law) that have registered to do business in any U.S.

State or Tribal jurisdiction. * New deadlines for these foreign reporting companies: * Registered before March 26, 2025: File by April 25, 2025. * Registered on or after March 26, 2025: File within 30 calendar days of effective registration notice.3.
