How it works
How the LLC Dissolution Process Works ?
EasyFiling simplifies LLC closure by filing your Articles of Dissolution and confirming your business is officially dissolved.
Member Vote to Dissolve the LLC
The first step in the company dissolution process is for LLC members to formally vote on whether to close the business. This decision must follow the procedures outlined in your LLC’s operating agreement, which typically specifies voting thresholds, notice requirements, and documentation standards. Adhering to these rules ensures the vote is legally valid and protects members from disputes or future liabilities. A properly conducted vote provides the foundation for the entire dissolution process.
Key Actions:
-
Review the Operating Agreement: Confirm how votes should be conducted, the percentage of approval required, and any additional provisions.
-
Hold a Formal Meeting: Notify all members in advance, share supporting documents, and provide space for discussion before voting.
-
Record the Outcome: Document the meeting minutes, date, members present, and final vote count. Keep these records in your company file for legal compliance.
-
Adopt a Resolution: Prepare a written resolution that clearly states the decision to dissolve, signed by all or the majority of members, as required.
File the Articles (or Certificate) of Dissolution
After members vote to dissolve, the next step is filing your Articles of Dissolution (sometimes called a Certificate of Dissolution) with the Secretary of State or Division of Corporations in the state where your LLC was formed. This filing officially notifies the state that your company is winding up and prevents future fees or penalties.
Key Actions:
-
Prepare the Form: Complete the Articles (or Certificate) of Dissolution provided by your state. Ensure all details — such as business name, formation date, and dissolution approval — are accurate.
-
Pay the Filing Fee: Each state charges a fee, which varies depending on jurisdiction. Always confirm the latest rates with the state agency.
-
Submit to the State: File by mail, in person, or through online e-filing where available. Keep the stamped or confirmed copy for your records as proof of official dissolution.
File Final Tax Returns & Close Tax Accounts
Before your LLC or corporation is fully dissolved, you must file all final federal, state, and local tax returns. Notifying the IRS and state tax agencies ensures your tax accounts are closed and prevents future liabilities. Some states also require a tax clearance certificate before approving dissolution.
Key Actions:
-
File Final Returns: Prepare and submit final federal and state returns, marking them as “final.” Consider working with a tax professional to avoid errors.
-
Close Tax Accounts: Inform the IRS and state revenue departments so they can deactivate your accounts.
-
Check State Requirements: Many states require tax clearance or proof of good standing before issuing dissolution approval.
