BOIs will be BOIs
A small lump of coal for small business owners: the Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is adding a new reporting requirement in 2024 entitled Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI). This is due to legislation enacted by Congress in 2021 and FinCEN requires all business owners or anyone with more than 25% stake in a company to file, with fines of up to $10,000 and 2 years jail time for failure to comply.
Basically, current business owners must file BOI by the end of 2024, and must file an update within thirty days if there are changes of ownership or address. New business owners must report BOI within 30 days. Go to our website or click on this link to gain more information, https://www.fincen.gov/boi.
SOC it to me!
The Employment Security Department has a new requirement for business owners: SOC identification and job title for employees. SOC is Standard Occupational Classification, and is a separate identity code from the L&I coding requirement. Adept Tax Services is asking our payroll clients to be ready to provide this classification and job title for Q4 2023. Go to our Website or click on this link for the SOC chart site https://www.bls.gov/soc/2018/major_groups.htm. Penalties for not providing a SOC code will be assessed in 2024.
