BOI reporting in Indiana
Under FinCEN's March 26, 2025 interim final rule, BOI reporting requirements changed significantly for Indiana businesses. Indiana-formed LLCs and corporations are exempt. Only foreign-formed entities registered to do business in Indiana must file BOI with FinCEN.
Most US entities are exempt from BOI under the 2025 interim final rule.
If you formed your business in Indiana (LLC, corporation, nonprofit), you no longer need to file BOI under the current interim rule.
The interim final rule from FinCEN, effective March 26, 2025:
- Removed BOI reporting for "domestic reporting companies" · entities formed in any US state including Indiana.
- Maintained BOI requirements only for foreign-formed entities registered to do business in any US state.
- Excluded US persons from being reported as beneficial owners by any entity.
Indiana-formed entities: no BOI filing required
If your LLC, corporation, or nonprofit was formed in Indiana by filing Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation with the Indiana Secretary of State, you are exempt from federal BOI reporting under the current interim rule.
Indiana does not have a state-level beneficial ownership law as of 2026. Federal BOI under the FinCEN interim rule is the only beneficial ownership filing currently applicable in Indiana.
Foreign-formed entities operating in Indiana: must file
If your entity was formed under the laws of another country (UK Ltd, Canadian Inc, Singapore Pte Ltd, etc.) and you registered to do business in Indiana via foreign qualification, BOI filing is required:
- Deadline: 30 calendar days from the effective date of Indiana foreign qualification.
- What to file: Beneficial owner information for each non-US person beneficial owner. US persons are NOT reported.
- Where to file: FinCEN BOSS at boiefiling.fincen.gov (free).
- Penalty for non-filing: Up to $591/day in civil penalties, plus criminal penalties up to $10,000 + 2 years imprisonment.
