SCAM WARNINGS

Annual Report Preparation Scam
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Filing Scam

Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) Notice:

In light of a recent federal court order, reporting companies are not currently required to file beneficial ownership information (BOI) with FinCEN and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the order remains in force. However, reporting companies may continue to voluntarily submit beneficial ownership information reports to FinCEN. Because this matter is ongoing, our office encourages all business owners to monitor this issue closely and check FinCEN’s website here regularly for updates. For questions regarding this matter, please contact FinCEN directly here.
