What information will a reporting company have to report about itself?

A reporting company will have to report: Its legal name; Any trade names, “doing business as” (d/b/a), or “trading as” (t/a) names; The current street address of its principal place of business if that address is in the United States (for example, a U.S. reporting company’s headquarters), or, for reporting companies whose principal place of business is outside the United States, the current address from which the company conducts business in the United States (for example, a foreign reporting company’s U.S. headquarters); Its jurisdiction of formation or registration; and Its Taxpayer Identification Number (or, if a foreign reporting company has not been issued a TIN, a tax identification number issued by a foreign jurisdiction and the name of the jurisdiction). A reporting company will also have to indicate whether it is filing an initial report, or a correction or an update of a prior report. FinCEN’s Small Entity Compliance Guide includes a checklist to help identify the information required to be reported (see Chapter 4.1, “What information should I collect about my company, its beneficial owners, and its company applicants?”).
