Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico and Ohio take no report and no fee from an LLC.
Delaware and Virginia take no report but still bill an LLC each year.
A second state you register in sets its own filings and fees.
Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina and Virginia require no annual or biennial report from an LLC, though South Carolina ties its exemption to tax classification.

Yes. States that excuse the LLC annual report excuse nothing else. You keep a registered agent, the person or company that receives legal papers and state notices for the LLC, and you still file your state and local tax returns.

Tell us where you will do business, and a CPA sets out each state's filings before you decide.
Yes, in each state that requires one, including every state the LLC registers in beyond the one where you formed it.
Form the LLC in New Mexico and operate in California, and you:
Register in four states and you track four calendars, since each state that asks for a report sets its own LLC annual report deadline.
What owners miss on a multi state file. The foreign registrations, because they track only the formation state.
Send the legal name, the state where you formed the LLC and every state where it is registered to do business.
We confirm what each state requires from an LLC and flag any tax or fee due with the report or in place of it.
We file where a filing is due and confirm active status on each state portal.
You get one calendar covering every state you are registered in.

We price each LLC by the states it is registered in and what they ask for.
The light end is one LLC registered in one state that asks for no report. You pay state filing fees to the state, separate from our fee. These are the factors, not a quote.
If you're a business owner, make sure to meet with your accountant and discuss your business structure... Review ahead of time with a tax attorney or a CPA what is your business structure and what's going to be the one that's most optimal for the type of income that you earn, the state that you're located in, and how much you earn.
Responsive and well organized accountancy at a competitive price point with transparent pricing. I will be moving my Quickbooks based two small business returns prep to them after this positive experience with my personal returns.
Our team includes CPAs and Enrolled Agents who work on individual returns, business taxes and tax planning. Tell us what you need help with when you get in touch.
Whether you formed the LLC last month or one state is already behind, a CPA checks each state and quotes the work before we file anything.
We wrote this as general information. States change these rules, so confirm with the state or a CPA before you rely on any of it.
