Where was the company formed?

Your result appears here.

Short answer

No, if your company was formed in the United States. FinCEN’s final rule, effective August 14, 2026, permanently exempts U.S.-formed companies from beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting. Only companies formed outside the U.S. that register to do business in a U.S. state still report, and only for their foreign owners.

How this tool works

Based on FinCEN’s final rule under the Corporate Transparency Act. Messages that say a U.S. company must file a BOI report now are often scams.
