Jay explains

Nevada requires an employer with no retirement plan of its own to enroll its employees in the state program, Nevada Employee Savings Trust (NEST), which runs Roth IRAs funded by payroll deductions. The employer registers, uploads its employees and passes the deductions through; it contributes nothing and the employees can opt out. An employer that sponsors a 401(k), SIMPLE IRA or other plan certifies its exemption instead. Employers with six or more employees in business for three years or more; registration opened in 2025. Registration deadlines have passed for existing employers, so a company not yet registered should register now; a new employer registers within the program's window after its first hire.

Your company's compliance calendar

Three answers to start. Refine it after.

An LLC's tax treatment decides which federal return it files. Choose the line that matches yours. Nonprofits are covered too.
Count everyone on payroll. An S corporation's working owners are employees: they are paid a salary.
Most Nevada companies are based in another state and owe that state's filings too. If that is you, pick it here.

Each one adds that state's registration, employer and tax filings. A state where you only keep inventory or make sales belongs under sales tax states below, not here.
Date registered in each other state
Optional. Some states key their report to the day you registered there rather than your date of formation; without it, the formation date stands in and the calendar says so.

Nevada keys its report to this date. Add it and the calendar places it.
Some taxes start at a revenue threshold.
Outside the United States
Each adds the FinCEN or IRS form that comes with it: the FBAR, Form 5472, Form 5471, Forms 1042 and 1042-S.
