30-second triage for BOI reporting status. Answer three questions and find out whether your LLC is exempt under the March 2025 FinCEN IFR or still obligated to file. The snapshot lists the standard scenarios.
US-formed = domestic reporting company. Foreign-formed and registered in a US state = foreign reporting company.
Determines which deadline window applies for foreign reporting companies.
If yes and non-exempt, triggers the 30-day amendment window.

| Scenario | Formation/registration timing | Current obligation | Deadline | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic LLC (US-formed) | Any time | EXEMPT (per March 21, 2025 FinCEN IFR) | None — exempt | No filing required |
| Foreign reporting company (non-US formed, registered to do business in US) | Before Mar 26, 2025 | Obligated | April 25, 2025 (was 30 days from IFR publication) | Late — file ASAP |
| Foreign reporting company | On/after Mar 26, 2025 | Obligated | 30 days from US registration | File within 30 days |
| Domestic LLC with foreign beneficial owners only | Any time | EXEMPT — owners' status does not change company classification | None | No filing required |
| Change in beneficial ownership (existing report) | N/A | 30-day amendment window for non-exempt entities | 30 days from change | File amended BOIR |
Reflects FinCEN's March 21, 2025 Interim Final Rule which exempted domestic reporting companies. Foreign reporting companies (entities formed outside the US that register to do business in the US) remain obligated. Status may change if FinCEN issues a final rule or if litigation alters scope. Confirm before relying.
On March 21, 2025, FinCEN published an Interim Final Rule that limited BOI reporting obligations to FOREIGN reporting companies only. Domestic reporting companies — entities formed in any US state by filing with a Secretary of State or similar — are exempt. This was a major reversal of the original Corporate Transparency Act scope after extensive litigation (Texas Top Cop Shop v. McHenry and others) and a Treasury Department policy reversal.
An entity formed under the law of a FOREIGN country (not a US state) and registered to do business in any US state by filing with a Secretary of State or similar office. A US-formed entity owned by a foreign person is NOT a foreign reporting company — it is a domestic reporting company and exempt.
For most US-formed anonymous LLCs (Wyoming, NM, DE, NV), BOI is currently irrelevant — exempt under the IFR. Foreign-formed entities that register in those states still have to file BOI separately from state anonymity rules.
