What is their objective?  Why do millions of people have to spend three minutes of their time to do this?

Greetings List Members -

I just wanted to share my experience with filing the Beneficial Ownership Information data through the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

It was super easy. Honestly, the most difficult part was remembering that Treasury website (like the IRS) only allow submissions during business hours. I tried and failed 3 times to file on Sunday. Today, it took me only the one time and was over in about 3 minutes.

What you will need:
1) Corporate name of your entity
2) Tax ID
3) All beneficial owners (in my case, a sole member PLLC so it was easy)
4) a government issued ID as a PDF (note, the file name cannot have spaces)

Super easy.
