What is different about forming an LLC in New York?
New York also requires newspaper publication within 120 days, in two papers for six weeks, plus a $50 certificate of publication. Publication is billed by the newspapers and commonly runs $300 to $600 outside New York City and considerably more inside it.
What does New York require after you form an LLC?
New York requires an annual report ($9 to the state) and a registered agent at all times, plus sales tax registration if you sell taxable goods.
Annual report
$9 to the state. New York LLCs and corporations file a Biennial Statement every two years, in the calendar month the entity was originally formed (or, for foreign entities, authorized) in New York. The state does not accept it for credit before that month, so filing early does not count. The state fee is $9, and expedited handling is not available. A past-due statement can still be filed online. More on New York annual reports.
Sales tax registration
Free from the state, and only if you sell taxable goods. More on New York reseller permits.
Registered agent
Every New York LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
$25 to the state, plus our $50.
