The 6 steps to close a Minnesota LLC

Do them in this order; step 4 is the only one the state charges for.

  1. 1

    Get the members' approval

    Check your operating agreement

    Your operating agreement says who must agree and how. Put the decision in writing and keep it with the company records.

  2. 2

    Bring state filings and taxes current

    Where people get stuck

    Many states will not accept a dissolution while reports or state taxes are overdue. The Minnesota annual renewal is due December 31 every year, with a state fee of $0. Check the Minnesota deadline.

  3. 3

    Wind up the business

    Before you file

    Collect what you are owed, pay or settle debts, cancel contracts and leases, and only then distribute what is left to the members.

  4. 4

    File the dissolution with the state

    We file this one

    You file it with Minnesota's business filing office; Minnesota's fee is $55 (Minnesota fee schedule). The current form is on Minnesota's official site. We file it for $120 plus the state fee.

  5. 5

    Close the federal and state accounts

    Easy to forget

    File the final federal return and check the "final return" box, then close the IRS business account (IRS: closing a business). Cancel any sales tax permit and licenses, and close the bank account last. Minnesota sales tax permit.

  6. 6

    End the registered agent after the state confirms

    Last step

    Keep the agent until the state confirms the dissolution, so any legal papers served in the meantime still reach you.
