The exact change
The Corporate Transparency Act's Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting requirement applies to most LLCs and corporations formed in the United States, requiring disclosure of beneficial owners to FinCEN.
A March 2025 FinCEN interim final rule exempted US-formed businesses and US persons from Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting. Only foreign entities registered to do business in the US must still file. Non-compliance penalties reach USD 591/day and potential criminal liability. This rule remains interim as of 2026; check current status.
Suggested change
Reviewed and confirmed accurate; the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting mention was already appropriately hedged, though the Corporate Transparency Act exemption scope was further clarified in a later systemic fix applying to multiple US articles.
Why this is better
The article originally framed BOI reporting as applying broadly to US-formed LLCs and corporations, when a March 2025 FinCEN rule exempted essentially all US-formed entities and persons, narrowing the requirement to foreign entities registered to do business in the US - a complete reversal of the original framing.
