Compare the options

States establish annual reports, franchise taxes and renewal deadlines. The registered agent must remain active.

Organize implementation

Sales tax, beneficial ownership and sector requirements depend on current rules and the company’s actual activity.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about annual obligations

Does an inactive LLC still file?

It may. Informational and state obligations do not always depend on revenue or profit.

When does sales tax apply?

It depends on physical or economic nexus, product or service, customer location and state rules.

Can deadlines vary by state?

Yes. Formation state, foreign qualification and activity can create different calendars.

Who needs LLC accounting and compliance support?

Any foreign-owned U.S. LLC or corporation with active filings, registered agent duties or bookkeeping needs, including entities with little or no U.S. revenue.
