Who must file a BOI report?

As of March 2025, FinCEN limits the BOI reporting requirement to foreign reporting companies (entities formed under foreign law that registered to do business in any US state). Domestic US-formed entities are not currently required to file under Treasury's interim final rule. Foreign reporting companies must file within 30 days of US registration and update within 30 days of any beneficial-owner change.

BosAI (Business Operating System AI) is File.Business's compliance agent. It transmits your filled BOIR through FinCEN's BOI E-Filing System (boiefiling.fincen.gov) within one business hour at the $129 same-hour e-file tier and returns the FinCEN-issued acknowledgement number to your File.Business dashboard.

What is the penalty for not filing?

Up to $606 per day (2025 inflation-adjusted cap, $10,000 per violation maximum) for foreign reporting companies that fail to file. Willful failure can lead to criminal penalties of up to $10,000 and two years imprisonment under 31 U.S.C. § 5336.

How does the same-hour e-file work?

Pick the $129 same-hour e-file tier, complete your inputs, and BosAI transmits your BOIR to FinCEN's BOI E-Filing System within the same hour. You receive a confirmation email with the FinCEN-issued acknowledgement number and a stamped PDF copy for your records, plus 12 months of free updated-report filings if your beneficial owners or address change.

What are the four pricing tiers?

$9 Blank prep: official blank BOIR PDF with our prep checklist, you fill and submit yourself. $49: we pre-fill the BOIR, instant digital download, you submit. $79: same filled PDF plus a printed hard copy shipped USPS Priority with tracking. $129: full-service. BosAI transmits the BOIR directly to FinCEN the same hour, handles ID image uploads, returns the acknowledgement number, and includes 12 months of free updated-report filings.

Is my beneficial-owner data secure?

Your inputs autosave to your browser only (localStorage) until you select a paid tier. Personal data (SSN, ITIN, passport number) for beneficial owners is encrypted end-to-end on our SOC 2 Type II infrastructure and forwarded to FinCEN's BOI E-Filing System through BosAI's secure submission channel. We do not retain beneficial-owner identifiers beyond the audit-trail window required by Treasury and never use PII to train AI models.

The Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) is filed electronically with FinCEN under 31 CFR § 1010.380. Our $129 same-hour tier transmits your filled BOIR (including each beneficial owner's ID image) through BosAI directly to FinCEN's BOI E-Filing System and returns the FinCEN-issued acknowledgement number to your dashboard, plus 12 months of free updated-report filings. Under the March 2025 Treasury interim final rule, the reporting obligation is currently limited to foreign reporting companies; domestic entities are exempt from filing for now.

FAQ

About the BOI report filler.

Who has to file a BOIR right now?

Under the Treasury's March 2025 interim final rule, only foreign reporting companies (entities formed under foreign law and registered to do business in any US state or tribal jurisdiction) must file an initial BOIR. Domestic US entities (US LLCs, US corporations) are currently exempt from filing. This filler is built for foreign reporting companies; the $129 same-hour tier transmits the BOIR through BosAI directly to FinCEN's BOI E-Filing System.

When is the BOIR due?

Foreign reporting companies registered before March 26, 2025 had until April 25, 2025 (30 days from publication). Companies registered on or after March 26, 2025 must file within 30 days of registration. Updated reports (change of address, new beneficial owner, owner address change) are due within 30 days of the change. Corrected reports are due within 30 days of discovering the error.

What are the penalties for not filing?

Willful failure to file or willful filing of false information triggers civil penalties of $606 per day (2025 inflation-adjusted cap, $10,000 per violation max) and criminal penalties up to $10,000 and/or two years in prison under 31 U.S.C. § 5336. The $129 same-hour e-file tier includes a deadline guarantee and 12 months of free updated-report filings.

What counts as a "beneficial owner" under 31 CFR § 1010.380?

Any individual who either (a) directly or indirectly owns or controls 25% or more of the ownership interests of the reporting company, OR (b) exercises substantial control (senior officer, authority over senior officers, important decision-making power, or any other form of substantial control). Exclusions: minor children, nominees, employees acting solely in employment capacity, certain inheritors, and creditors.

Do I need to include a "company applicant"?

Only for entities formed or first registered in the US on or after January 1, 2024. Up to 2 applicants: the individual who directly filed the formation/registration document and the individual primarily responsible for directing the filing. Entities formed before 2024 leave Part II blank.

How does the same-hour e-file actually work?

Once you complete the BOIR and pay the $129 tier, BosAI (our compliance AI) transmits the report through the FinCEN BOI E-Filing System within one business hour. The FinCEN-issued acknowledgement number and a stamped copy of the filed BOIR appear in your File.Business dashboard. Beneficial-owner ID images are encrypted in transit and only transmitted at the $129 tier.

What is the difference between the four tiers?

Free downloads the blank official FinCEN BOIR PDF; you fill, sign, and submit yourself. $49 Filled PDF pre-fills the BOIR from your inputs and delivers an instant digital download; you still submit. $79 Filled, Printed & Shipped includes the filled digital PDF plus a printed hard copy mailed USPS Priority with tracking (2-3 business days). $129 Same-hour e-file via BosAI is full-service: we submit directly to FinCEN, handle ID image uploads, return the acknowledgement number, and file updated reports free for 12 months if your ownership changes.

Is my data safe?

Your inputs autosave to your browser only (localStorage). Nothing leaves your device on the free tier. SSNs, ITINs, and beneficial-owner ID images are only transmitted when you choose a paid tier and pay. We are SOC 2 Type II audited; PII is encrypted at rest and in transit and never used to train AI models.
