AICPA, others call for a one-year extension of BOI report deadline
https://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2023/oct/aicpa-others-call-for-a-one-year-extension-of-boi-report-deadline.html

The AICPA and over 50 affiliated organizations recommended in a letter to Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) that the agency extend the effective date for the beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirement by one year to give the millions of affected businesses time to learn about the new and complex rules. The letter asked that the scope of the one-year deadline delay include not only new entities created in 2024, but all entities created thereafter and all entities making updates or corrections to their original filings.

In a letter to Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the AICPA says the additional time will give all businesses a fair and reasonable time frame to become aware of the new and complex rule.
