Here are the top 5 immediate compliance actions you should take:
Secure Your EIN
After forming your LLC with your state, apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS if your business has employees, is taxed as a corporation or partnership, or pays certain taxes.
Understand BOI Reporting
As of March 26, 2025, domestic US LLCs are exempt from Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting to FinCEN. However, if your LLC is a foreign entity registered to do business in the U.S., you must comply with FinCEN's reporting requirements and deadlines.3. File Annual Reports & Pay State Fees: Most states require annual or biennial reports to update your LLC's information and may impose franchise taxes or other fees. Missing these deadlines can lead to penalties.
Maintain a Registered Agent
Every state requires your LLC to have a registered agent with a physical address to receive official documents. Ensure your registered agent information is always current.
Adopt an Operating Agreement
While not always legally mandated, a robust operating agreement is crucial for defining your LLC's structure and operations, helping to preserve your limited liability protections.For a more detailed state-by-state compliance checklist or tailored assistance, please reach out to us.
