Is BOI Dead? (Beneficial Ownership Interest Update 2025)

December 18, 2024

The government’s latest rule might’ve hit pause, but don’t pack away your paperwork just yet.

What is BOI and Why Should You Care?

For all the studio owners, creative entrepreneurs, and community-builders out there—if you’re juggling paint, pottery, and profitability, the last thing you need is another government acronym breathing down your neck. Enter the Beneficial Ownership Interest (BOI) reporting rule: a requirement set to go live on January 1st, 2025, with all the grace of a bull in a china shop. But wait—this story just got interesting.

The Texas Judge Says “Hold Up”

On December 3rd, a Texas judge threw down the gavel and said, “Hold up—this might not even be constitutional.” Translation? BOI reporting is officially on pause. So, as of right now, you do not need to file. Of course, the government isn’t giving up that easily, and the appeal process is already gearing up.

42 Million Reports? Only 6 Million Filed

But here’s the real kicker: out of the 42 million expected BOI reports, only 6 million have been filed so far. That’s a lot of business owners either procrastinating or scratching their heads. (And who can blame them?) Clearly, this rule is a bit of a mess, and the courts are still trying to figure out what to do with it.
