How reinstatement works in Wisconsin
Catch up on filings
Wisconsin reinstates an LLC only after the department finds all fees and penalties owed under chapter 183 have been paid, and the application states each dissolution ground was cured. 1
Tax clearance
Wisconsin's reinstatement section lists what the application must include: the LLC's name and dissolution date, a statement that each ground was cured, and a statement about its name. The department also checks that its fees and penalties are paid. The list names no tax clearance. 1
File the application
Wisconsin's Department of Financial Institutions emails the reinstatement forms to an administratively dissolved LLC that contacts the department with its entity name and entity ID. 2
Check the name
