New Federal Reporting Requirement for Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) ----------- Effective January 1, 2024, many companies in the US must report information about their beneficial owners—the individuals who ultimately own or control the company—to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
Filing is simple, secure, and free of charge. Reporting companies report beneficial ownership information electronically through FinCEN’s website: www.fincen.gov/boi.
To streamline services, please specify the type of assistance which you seek:
*
I have an existing entity and am ONLY requesting assistance related to the BOI Report
I am requesting general services
Many companies are required to report information to FinCEN about the individuals who ultimately own or control them. FinCEN began accepting reports on January 1, 2024. Learn more here: https://www.fincen.gov/boi

The EAC aims to assist clients who otherwise would not have access to legal counsel. It is not a service to cut legal fees; if you can afford to retain outside counsel, you should. The Clinic's goal is to assist clients who do not have access to legal counsel.
