The exact change
Under the Corporate Transparency Act, most newly formed LLCs and corporations, including those formed by foreign entrepreneurs, must file a Beneficial Ownership Information report with FinCEN within 30 days of formation.
Following a March 2025 FinCEN interim final rule, US-formed companies and their US beneficial owners are exempt from Beneficial Ownership Information reporting. Only foreign entities registered to do business in the US still must file.
Suggested change
Fixed a major factual reversal in the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting mentions (appearing 3 times): a March 2025 FinCEN rule exempted essentially all US-formed entities from reporting, contrary to the article's original framing.
Why this is better
The article previously stated that most newly formed US LLCs and corporations must file BOI reports, but a March 2025 FinCEN rule exempted virtually all US-formed entities, narrowing the requirement to foreign entities registered to do business in the US - a reversal that needed fixing in multiple places in the article.
