Home » How to obtain a FinCEN Identifier?
According to the CTA (Corporate Transparency Act), certain businesses or entities in the U.S. must file a BOI (beneficial ownership information) with FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) within a stipulated time in every tax year. FinCEN maintains a record of the information of the reporting companies. This report includes information about the reporting company, beneficial owners, and company applicants.
A FinCEN ID is not strictly required for Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting, but it can be very useful. It can simplify the reporting process by reducing the amount of sensitive information that needs to be submitted.
In this blog, we’ve compiled information on how to acquire a FinCEN Identifier for free and highlighted the key benefits of using one for individuals and reporting companies.
A FinCEN ID contains a unique 12-digit identifying number that FinCEN issues to every reporting entity or company. Instead of giving the individual personal information, the reporting company can provide a FinCEN ID. Obtaining the FinCEN identifier is not compulsory, but it reduces the headache of the reporting process and maintain privacy.
There are several reasons why an entity should use the FinCEN identifier.
You have to consider multiple things regarding requesting the FinCEN identifier. If the reporting entity has put an inaccurate statement for the FinCEN ID application, the individual must correct the discrepancies within 30 days of knowing the inaccuracy. The same thing applies to the changing of personal information. The deadline here is 30 days too.
This is an obligation for any FinCEN ID holder, even if they are no longer company applicants or beneficial owners. FinCEN has issued a statement that those FinCEN ID holders will get the deactivation option for deactivating their ID. Although the deactivation option is still not provided.
All the beneficial owners or company applicants must provide the following personal information during the request of FinCEN ID:
Any entity has to follow specific steps to obtain a FinCEN ID. Go through the below steps:
It’s that simple! Now continue filing your BOI report and stay complaint. Note: Each FinCEN identifier is entirely unique and only one can be obtained per individual or reporting company.
