You dissolved your LLC at the state… but the IRS still has it open. Closing at the state does NOT close it with the IRS. We file your final federal return, close your EIN business account, and confirm your last state report — so the filings (and penalties) finally stop.

$69
One-time flat fee. For LLCs already dissolved/inactive at the state.
State and IRS are separate. A dissolved LLC that never filed a final 5472 + 1120 still owes the IRS — and the penalty for a missed Form 5472 is $25,000 per year, even with $0 of activity.
Give us the LLC name, state and EIN. We check the live state register to confirm it is dissolved/inactive and see your last filing.
We prepare and submit the final Form 5472 + pro-forma 1120 marked "final", covering the years you owed — closing the federal obligation.
We send the IRS the formal letter to close the business account tied to your EIN, and give you the confirmation pack.
No — the state and the IRS are completely separate. Dissolving at the Secretary of State ends your state obligations (annual report, registered agent), but the IRS still has your EIN open and still expects a federal return. Until you file the final 5472 + 1120 and close the EIN account, the IRS considers the LLC active.
The IRS keeps the account open and keeps expecting Form 5472 each year. A missed or late 5472 carries a $25,000 penalty PER YEAR — even if the LLC earned $0 and is dead at the state. Those penalties accrue against the responsible owner, can trigger IRS notices, and leave an open EIN that can be misused. Filing the final return + closing the EIN stops the clock.
The IRS never deletes or reuses an EIN — it stays assigned to your LLC forever. What you can do is close the business ACCOUNT tied to it. We send the IRS the official close-account letter quoting your legal name, EIN, business address and the reason, so the account is marked closed and the IRS stops expecting filings.
Dissolution ($220) is for an LLC that is STILL active at the state — it includes filing the Articles of Dissolution and the state fee to close it down. LLC Closure ($69) is for an LLC that is ALREADY dissolved at the state and only needs the federal side finished: final IRS return + closing the EIN. If you're not sure which you need, send us the name and state and we'll tell you.
We file the final return for the year the LLC last existed, and we can prepare any earlier missed years on request so the federal record is fully clean. We confirm exactly what's needed after we pull your record.
$69
