Dissolution
Close It Properly, So the Fees Stop
If you're done with the business, walking away isn't the same as closing it. Until the state has a dissolution on file, your annual reports keep coming due, late penalties keep stacking, and the entity stays on the public record. We prepare and file the dissolution so it ends cleanly.
What's Included
- A standing check first — we confirm what your state requires before you pay
- Articles of dissolution (or your state's equivalent) prepared from your details
- Filed with the state through the proper channel
- Any outstanding report the state requires before it will accept the dissolution, flagged up front
- State fee passed through at cost, itemized — never marked up
- Stamped confirmation delivered by email for your records
You can file a dissolution yourself, directly with your state, for just the state's own fee — we'll always tell you that. Dissolution is a legal and tax decision; we prepare and file the paperwork, we don't advise on whether to close. Talk to your CPA or attorney about final returns and winding up.
How It Works
Tell us about the entity
Legal name, state, and entity type. We check its current standing with the state before anything is charged.
We confirm what's required
Some states won't accept a dissolution while a report is outstanding or the entity isn't in good standing. We tell you the full path and total first.
We prepare and file it
Your dissolution is prepared from your details and filed with the state, with the state's fee passed through at cost.
You get the confirmation
The stamped filing lands in your inbox. The entity stops accruing reports and fees from the state's effective date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I just stop filing instead?+
The state doesn't treat silence as closing. Reports keep coming due, late penalties accrue, and eventually the state administratively dissolves the entity — which is different from a voluntary dissolution and can leave a messier record, plus a balance owed if you ever want to reinstate.
Do I still owe this year's annual report?+
Often yes — several states require an entity to be current before they'll accept a dissolution. We check that first and tell you the full total, including any report that has to be filed on the way out.
Does this handle my final tax return?+
No. Dissolution is a state entity filing. Final federal and state returns, closing the EIN, and winding up debts are separate and belong with your CPA. We'll tell you plainly where our filing ends.
Can I reverse it later?+
Generally you'd have to form a new entity, though some states allow reinstatement within a window. If you're unsure, don't dissolve yet — ask us and we'll lay out the options before you file.
