FinCEN has extended the reporting deadline for companies created or registered before January 1, 2024, to January 13, 2025. In an alert posted Tuesday night, FinCEN recognized that “reporting companies may need additional time to comply given the period when the preliminary injunction had been in effect.” Previously, the reporting deadline for these companies was January 1, 2025.

FinCEN also extended the deadline to January 13, 2025, for companies created on or after September 4, 2024, that had a filing deadline between December 3, 2024 and December 23, 2024. Additionally, companies created or registered on or after December 3, 2024, and on or before December 23, 2024, have an additional 21 days from their original filing deadline to file, absent an exemption.

Finally, reporting companies created or registered on or after January 1, 2025, will still be required to file within 30 days of registration, unless an exemption applies.
