CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT REPORTING

Welcome to Hedger & Hedger's Beneficial Ownership Report Filing System

The Corporate Transparency Act requires certain types of entities to report beneficial ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Beneficial ownership information is information about the company, its owners and, in certain cases, the person(s) who formed the company. Beneficial ownership information is reported to FinCEN through Beneficial Ownership Information Reports (BOIRs).

The Hedger & Hedger BOIR Filing System greatly facilitates the filing of BOIRs by not only requesting each item of information required by the subject BOIR, but also by accompanying each item with detailed instructions and omitting fields inapplicable to the filing being prepared.

Step 1 — Determine Whether Your Business Must File

Not sure whether the Corporate Transparency Act requires your company to file? Answer the questions below — the questionnaire reveals each step based on your answers and tells you whether your company appears to be exempt or required to report.

Is the company one of the following:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. General Partnership
  3. Estate Trust
Select one:*

Step 2 — Complete Your BOIR Filing

If your company is required to report, complete your Beneficial Ownership Information Report below. The Hedger & Hedger BOIR Filing System numbers its fields identically to those of the FinCEN BOIR; where fields are omitted as inapplicable, gaps may appear in order to maintain the FinCEN numbering. Complete each step — the form reveals only the fields applicable to your filing.
