Maintenance of a Corp or LLC
Annual Maintenance Requirements for Corporations, LLC, Limited or General Partnership
If you operate a Corporation you are required to file an Annual Franchise Tax Report and pay the state fees on or before March 1st each year. The Annual Franchise Tax Report requires a principle business address, that address can NOT be your registered agents address. A company's principal place of business is the primary location where its business is performed. This is generally where the business's books and records are kept and is often where the head of the firm and other senior management personnel are located. You can opt to use our Delaware Virtual Office address for fee.
If you operate a LLC your State of Delaware obligations are due to the state on or before June 1st each year.
All companies must file a Federal Income Tax Return with the IRS, even if there is "No Activity". We offer our clients an option to use our Tax Accounting Partner to file your Federal Income Tax Return.
NOTE: If you do not have a principal office in the State of Delaware there is no requirement to file a State Income Tax Return, however you must file on the Federal Level.
