FinCEN Removes Beneficial Ownership Reporting Requirements for U.S. Companies and U.S. Persons, Sets New Deadlines for Foreign Companies
|
|
WASHINGTON––Consistent with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s March 2, 2025 announcement , the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is issuing an interim final rule that removes the requirement for U.S. companies and U.S. persons to report beneficial ownership information (BOI) to FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act.
In that interim final rule, FinCEN revises the definition of “reporting company” in its implementing regulations to mean only those entities that are formed under the law of a foreign country and that have registered to do business in any U.S. State or Tribal jurisdiction by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or similar office (formerly known as “foreign reporting companies”). FinCEN also exempts entities previously known as “domestic reporting companies” from BOI reporting requirements.

APRIL 2025 Q & A
Q: I will claim an automobile deduction on my tax return and have used the standard mileage rate in previous years. However, in 2024 I incurred significant car expenses that will outweigh the standard mileage deduction. Can I switch to deducting actual costs for 2024?
A: Yes, you'll be able to switch to the actual expenses method if you own your car and you used the standard mileage rate in the first year that you used your vehicle for business. The rules are different though if you lease your car. If you're leasing your car, you'll need to take the standard rate for the entire lease term.
Balance Transfers and Your Credit Score
Here are some tips for consolidating credit card debt that will potentially boost your score.
- Calculate the monthly payment you’ll need to make to pay off the balance before the introductory rate ends.
- Don’t cancel your old cards. In addition to eliminating your credit history, closing accounts reduces your available credit. Both can have a negative impact on your credit score.
- Avoid charging purchases to your old cards unless you can pay off the balance each month. People often fail at debt consolidation because they run up new debt.
Professional Financial Designations
When choosing your financial team it is important to understand the differences between various professional designations.
CPA (CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT)
This is one of the more widely recognized certifications. These professionals are tax and accounting specialists.
CFP (CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER)
These experts can help with your overall financial strategy, including insurance, investments and retirement planning.
IA (INVESTMENT ADVISERS)
IAs are able to give advice about specific investments. An investment adviser may also be a CFP.
