“REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

ALERT [updated Feb. 19, 2025]: Beneficial ownership reporting requirements are back in effect, with a new deadline of March 21.”

“You are hereby reminded that your Beneficial ownership information is IMMEDIATELY DUE.

Failure to comply with the 2021 Corporate Transparency Act may result in Severe Penalties

As mandated by the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN), your company must submit its BOI Report by December 31, 2024 (if formed prior to 2024). However, FinCEN has extended this deadline to March 21, 2025 due to a recent court order. Non-compliance may incur significant fines and potential legal action.”

- North Olmsted, OH, USA

Received letter from the Annual Records Service with form 5102 Mandatory Beneficial Ownership Reporting.

I just filed my business LLC and I received this letter in the mail around February 19/20th stating that I had until 2/20/2025 to file the form for $119 or else I would be violating the US Corporate Transparency Act Enacted by Congress. This form is made to look like a paper version of the BOIR. Luckily, I was going to file online with FinCen and saw that it was free which is what made me question the paper form. I did some research and saw that it was a scam but this really does look legitimate.

It also states penalties for non-compliance as being $500/day for civil penalties and up to $10,000 and/or face up to 2 years of imprisonment if this is not filed. PLEASE BE WARE - FinCen clearly states that filing is FREE !
