As outlined in the Corporate Transparency Act, a person who violates BOI reporting requirements may be subject to civil penalties of up to $591 per day of violation. That person may also be imprisoned for up to two years and a fine of up to $10,000. Possible offenses include:

Suppose there are any changes to the required information about your company or its beneficial owners in your Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report.
