I own a single-member LLC registered in the U.S., but it hasn’t generated any income yet. Am I required to file a BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) report even if there’s no active business activity?

Yes, you are still required to file a Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report for a single-member LLC, even if the LLC has no active income. Under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), most U.S. LLCs, including single-member entities, must report their beneficial ownership details to FinCEN.
The CTA mandates BOI reporting for nearly all U.S. LLCs to enhance transparency and prevent financial crimes, regardless of the company’s income activity.
Failing to file a BOI report can result in penalties, including $591 daily fines for late submissions and potential criminal charges.
Filing a BOI report can be complex, especially for single-member LLCs with limited activity. Business Globalizer simplifies the process, ensuring accurate and timely filing.
