Jay explains

South Dakota requires every LLC registered in the state to file an annual report with the South Dakota Secretary of State by the first day of the anniversary month of its formation. The fee is $50. Miss it and the result is $50 late fee; administrative dissolution after 60 days. A company registered in more than one state files this in each of them.

An LLC's tax treatment decides which federal return it files. Choose the line that matches yours. Nonprofits are covered too.

Employees

Count everyone on payroll. An S corporation's working owners are employees: they are paid a salary.

Where is it based? The state of the office, or of most of the people

A company based outside its state of formation is registered in both and files in both.

Date of formation
