Do you have a registered business?
You need to know about BOI!
Why do companies have to report beneficial ownership information to the U.S. Department of the Treasury?
In 2021, Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act on a bipartisan basis. This law creates a new beneficial ownership information reporting requirement as part of the U.S. government’s efforts to make it harder for bad actors to hide or benefit from their ill-gotten gains through shell companies or other opaque ownership structures.
A reporting company created or registered to do business before January 1, 2024, will have until January 1, 2025, to file its initial BOI report.
How will I report my company’s beneficial ownership information?
If you are required to report your company’s beneficial ownership information to FinCEN, you will do so electronically through a secure filing system available via FinCEN’s BOI E-Filing website.
There is no fee to file the BOI but we will charge for our time and effort to help you gather the needed info for the filing.
$100 for current clients, $150 for new clients.
IF YOU DON’T FILE:
Penalties: $500 per day up to $10,000 and potential criminal penalties up to 10 years in prison
An injunction has been filed to stop the BOI Filing requirement. Link There is a chance this injunction will fail and it is better to file the BOI report before 1/1/2025 than deal with the consequences.

Do you owe Ohio state Tax? Consider a donation to OCEN SGO!
Donate ONLINE to Ohio Christian Education Network Scholarship Granting Organization (OCEN SGO) before the end of a tax year and write it off on your taxes owed!
Donors may receive up to $750 in a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit for gifts made to the OCEN SGO. Donors can contribute year-round to a specific school in our network or to the scholarship’s general fund. You may even reduce your federal tax owed but we advise working with our accountants to see what that amount might be.
How does the tax credit work?
Your OCEN SGO donation can be claimed when you file your Ohio taxes for the year in which you make your gift. The credit is a dollar-to-dollar reduction in your state tax liability up to $750 per taxpayer. A married couple filing jointly can make two gifts and claim a credit of up to $1500. To receive the full tax credit, you must have an Ohio tax liability equal to or greater than the amount of the credit.
Can my spouse and I receive separate tax credits if we joint file our taxes?
Yes. The tax credit is on a per-individual taxpayer basis. Married couples can receive up to two separate $750-deductions, totaling $1,500. To receive the maximum credit, spouses must make TWO SEPARATE $750 donations, one in each of their names. A single $1,500 will only return a single $750 tax credit.
How is the gift used?
Your gift to OCEN SGO will be used to award scholarships to worthy students attending participating schools within the Ohio Christian Education Network. You may designate which school you would like to receive the scholarship and you can be certain your gift will fund a scholarship at that school with priority given to students in financial need.
