What It Is

Officially Close the Door on Your LLC

Dissolving an LLC is the formal process of closing your company with the state. Simply stopping operations isn't enough — until you file Articles of Dissolution, your LLC remains active and continues to owe annual fees, reports, and taxes, even if it's no longer doing business.

Filing a proper dissolution ends those obligations, protects you from future penalties, and formally terminates your liability going forward. It also lets you wind up your affairs cleanly — settling debts, closing accounts, and distributing any remaining assets.

CoFilings® manages the entire dissolution process, confirms your state's specific requirements, and files on your behalf so your LLC is closed the right way.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I just stop using my LLC instead of dissolving it?
If you don't formally dissolve, your LLC stays active in the eyes of the state. That means it continues to owe annual fees, reports, and taxes, and can rack up penalties or fall out of good standing — even if you've stopped operating.
Do I need to settle debts before dissolving?
Yes. Part of properly winding up an LLC is settling outstanding debts and obligations and distributing any remaining assets to members. We'll provide a wind-up checklist to help you handle this in the correct order.
Do I need tax clearance to dissolve?
Some states require a tax clearance or confirmation that your taxes are current before they'll accept a dissolution filing. We'll confirm whether your state requires this and guide you through it.
Should I close my EIN with the IRS?
Closing your business account with the IRS is recommended once your final tax return is filed. We provide guidance on closing your EIN so you don't continue receiving IRS notices for an inactive entity.
How long does dissolution take?
Processing times vary by state, but most dissolution filings are completed within a few business days once any required tax clearance is in place. Expedited options are available in some states.
Can a single-member LLC be dissolved the same way?
Yes. Single-member and multi-member LLCs both dissolve by filing Articles of Dissolution with the state, though multi-member LLCs may need a recorded member vote first. We handle the right approach for your structure.
