The filing deadline is the LLC’s anniversary date of incorporation. The filing fee is $500 by mail and $450 online. Expect processing 24-36 hours after filing. You can set a reminder to file each year. Resources on the Secretary of State’s website provide forms and guidelines.
Even if an inactive LLC has no income or expenses for a year, it might still need to file a tax return based on how it’s taxed. LLC tax filing requirements depend on the LLC’s tax structure.
The fee to file online is $520 because of a $20 surcharge. To mail the annual report, send it to: Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Ashburton Place, Boston, MA 02108, 1-800-392-6090, [email protected]
