The 5 steps to withdraw from New Jersey

Step 3 is the state filing; the rest stops the bills that keep coming after you leave.

  1. 1

    Withdraw, or dissolve?

    Where people get stuck

    Withdraw when the LLC was formed in another state and only stops operating in New Jersey. If New Jersey is the LLC's home state, dissolve it in New Jersey instead.

  2. 2

    Bring New Jersey filings and taxes current

    Before you file

    Many states will not accept a withdrawal while reports or state taxes are overdue, and some ask for a tax clearance. The New Jersey annual report is due the last day of your formation anniversary month, with a state fee of $75. Check the New Jersey deadline.

  3. 3

    File the withdrawal with the state

    We file this one

    You file it with New Jersey's business filing office; New Jersey's fee is $125 (New Jersey fee schedule). The current form is on New Jersey's official site. We file it for $120 plus the state fee.

  4. 4

    Close New Jersey tax accounts and licenses

    Easy to forget

    Cancel the New Jersey sales tax permit, payroll accounts and local licenses so returns stop coming due. New Jersey sales tax permit.

  5. 5

    End the New Jersey registered agent after the state confirms

    Last step

    Keep the agent until the withdrawal is filed, so legal papers served in the meantime still reach you.
