  • EP#90 BOI Reporting

    This week we sit down with Sheila Chaplin CFP with Reliable Tax and Business Services about the BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) reporting. This report will need to be filled out before the end of 2024 if you

    are registered with the secretary of state. This is a very simple process but do not let this action slip through the cracks as the fines for not completing
    this on time can be extensive.
