    Thanks for the video. It was helpful with one omission. On the reporting company #16 there was a note that said do not check if the reporting company was created on or after Jan 01 2024. Check box if the company was created before that date. Those that check the box do not have to report have to report any company applicants and then it says go to page III.

    Hi Noel. Thanks for the video. I filed it today. The only problem I ran into was when I attempted upload the photo. I took a photo of my driver's license with my iPhone and it would not upload because my photo exceeded 4MB. Then I changed the photo to JPEG, TIFF and PNG and it still was too big of a file to upload. I finally got the photo to upload by making a copy of my driver's license by scanning it on a photocopier and emailing it to myself. Then I downloaded it on my desktop and uploaded it finally. I just wanted to mention this in case anyone else had this problem Thanks again for your video.

      Hi Clint, Thank you for sharing your experience and the workaround you found for uploading your driver's license photo. That's a great tip for anyone else who might run into the same issue with file size limits. I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and provide feedback-it’s incredibly helpful!

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe BOI reporting IS required for sole proprietors IF you are conducting business as an LLC. Sole Proprietorship is a tax reporting status, not a business entity type.

    • @NoelLorenzanaCPA
      @NoelLorenzanaCPA  Před měsícem +2

      To be clear, sole proprietors do not need to file a BOI report. LLCs, including single member LLCs, taxed as a sole proprietor need to file a BOI report.

    Thank you for the valuable information. I think your information will be of great help. However, in my case, there is an inc. headquartered in Japan and an inc. in California, and of course, 100% of the shares are owned by the head office in Japan. How should I report this case?

    Great video. Was curious did you ever get an email sent to submitter email address you put in stating it was accepted or anything?

    • @NoelLorenzanaCPA
      @NoelLorenzanaCPA  Před 5 měsíci +1

      No, I didn't receive a confirmation email. Just the confirmation screen at the end where you can download a copy of the accepted submission.

    What do I do if I'm closing my LLC this year? Is there a "Final" form I also must file? Or is there a way to denote I'm closing the company (or closed the company) in the Initial filing?

    • @NoelLorenzanaCPA
      @NoelLorenzanaCPA  Před 2 měsíci

      I'm not certain, and you might want to verify, but there is no 'final' form or a way to indicate you are closing your company.

    NO one is explaining what address to put in a foreign Non-Resident of the USA for the BOI if "Company address cannot be Registered Agent address, PO Box or Virtual Office"!!!!!!

    If there are future updates for the original BOIR, is the submitter or company applicant liable to make the changes?

    • @NoelLorenzanaCPA
      @NoelLorenzanaCPA  Před 27 dny

      Yes, an update BOIR must be filed. The company is responsible

    Is it better to not have LLC and just use sole proprietor? To avoid this step? Especially if you are a small business.

    • @NoelLorenzanaCPA
      @NoelLorenzanaCPA  Před 4 měsíci +1

      That’s kind of a legal question that I can’t answer for your specific situation. Although, I do like the simplicity of sole proprietorships.
