Formed an LLC that never got going?
Plans change. If the LLC never had customers, a bank account or any money moving through it, closing it is usually simple. Doing it properly still matters, because the state keeps billing an LLC that exists on paper. We close it for you.

Questions we hear from people like you
The LLC never had an EIN. Which package do I need?
The Dissolution package. There is no IRS account to close.
I got an EIN but never used it. Do I still need to close it?
Most owners do. The IRS keeps the account open until someone asks it to close it. The Dissolution and EIN closure package does that for you.
Is there anything to file with the IRS for a year with no activity?
It depends on who owns the LLC. A US-owned single-member LLC with no activity often has nothing separate to file. A foreign-owned LLC may still owe Form 5472. Your accountant can confirm what applies.
