Keeping Your US LLC in Good Standing
Forming your LLC is a one-time step. To keep it active, every US LLC has small yearly obligations — a registered agent renewal, and (in some states) a state annual report. Here's exactly what you pay, when it's due, and what we handle for you.
Registered Agent Renewal
Every US LLC must keep a registered agent — a legal point of contact in the formation state that receives official mail and state notices. This renews once a year and is required in every state. We act as your registered agent and renew it on your behalf.
State Annual Report
Some states require an annual report (or license tax) to confirm your LLC's details and keep it active. Wyoming and Montana require one; Missouri does not. When your state requires it, we prepare and file it before the deadline.
Annual maintenance by state
Fees below are what Entryly charges to handle each renewal — shown live from our current pricing, so this page always matches your dashboard and checkout.
Missouri
Registered agent renews on your formation anniversary. No annual report deadline.
Missouri does NOT require an annual report for LLCs, so there's no state report fee. Your yearly costs are the registered agent and the federal tax filing below.
Montana
April 15 every year (first report the year after formation).
Montana requires an Annual Report. We file it before the deadline for our $20 filing fee (the state's own fee is waived through 2027). Filing after April 15 adds the state's $35 late fee.
Wyoming
First day of your formation anniversary month, every year.
Wyoming charges an Annual Report License Tax ($60 minimum, based on assets in Wyoming). We file it for you: the yearly fee is that $60 plus our $20 filing service.
IRS Form 5472 — Federal Filing
Separate from state compliance, every foreign-owned single-member US LLC must file IRS Form 5472 with Form 1120 by April 15 each year — even with zero income or activity. This is a federal requirement, not a state one. LLCs with two or more members file a partnership return instead (Form 1065 with K-1s) by March 15.
Missing this filing can trigger a $25,000+ IRS penalty. We prepare and file it for you as a yearly paid service: you answer a short questionnaire and sign it in your dashboard. Multi-member returns are prepared by our CPA partner.
