Your company may not be required to file a beneficial ownership information report under the Beneficial Ownership Information Reporting Rule if it does not meet the criteria of a foreign reporting company. This term applies to entities that are: (A) Corporations, limited liability companies, or other entities; (B) Formed under the law of a foreign country; and (C) Registered to do business in any state or tribal jurisdiction by filing a document with a secretary of state or similar office.
Since you indicated that you did not file a document with a Secretary of State or similar office, your company may not meet the criteria of a foreign reporting company and may not need to file. However, you can still choose to file without penalty from FinCEN if your company is excludable.
