Where to File Beneficial Ownership Reports

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) manages beneficial ownership filings under the Corporate Transparency Act. While specific links are being developed, here’s where to look for resources and tools for filing:

Where to File Beneficial Ownership Reports

1. FinCEN’s Filing Portal 

   • FinCEN is creating an online portal for beneficial ownership filings. This portal will likely be the primary place for submitting and updating beneficial ownership information.
   • Website: fincen.gov
   • CTA Resource Page: Corporate Transparency Act Resources
     (FinCEN will update this page with the direct link to the filing portal as it becomes available.)

Resources for Filing & Compliance

1. FinCEN Guidance Documents
   FinCEN offers several documents to help businesses understand beneficial ownership requirements, including fact sheets, FAQs, and other guidance for small business owners.

   • Guidance and Forms: Corporate Transparency Act FAQ

2. Legal or Compliance Services

   • Law firms and compliance platforms (e.g., LegalZoom, Rocket Lawyer) offer filing services and consultations specifically designed for CTA compliance. Fees may apply, but these services can help ensure you’re correctly filing.

3. U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)
   The SBA provides resources for small business owners on regulatory compliance. While it doesn’t directly manage CTA filings, the SBA’s website may have updates or guidance on the requirements.

   • SBA Website: sba

Currently, FinCEN is the primary source of information, but if you need specific help or have more detailed questions, many state or local business administration offices may offer guidance.
