How It Works
We handle the rest.

Step 1: Board Resolution and Shareholder Vote
The board of directors must pass a resolution recommending dissolution. Then, shareholders must approve the dissolution by vote, typically requiring a majority or two-thirds vote depending on your state and corporate bylaws. Document both actions in official corporate minutes.

Step 2: File Articles of Dissolution
File Articles of Dissolution (or Certificate of Dissolution) with your state’s Secretary of State. This is similar to LLC dissolution but may require additional corporate-specific information like shareholder vote results and officer signatures.
Step 3: Settle Corporate Obligations
Wind down corporate affairs: notify creditors, settle debts, liquidate assets, and distribute remaining assets to shareholders. Some states require publishing a notice of dissolution. File final state tax returns and close state tax accounts.
Form 1120 - Final Return
Step 4: File Final Federal Tax Returns
Corporations file a final Form 1120. Check the ‘Final Return’ box. Then send a letter to the IRS to cancel your EIN and close your federal tax account.
