Dissolving an LLC in California requires filing dissolution paperwork with the state.

Before the state will process your dissolution, you must obtain tax clearance from the state tax agency.

California does not charge a state filing fee for LLC dissolution, but the tax clearance process can take 4-8 weeks.

All outstanding tax obligations, including the annual $800 minimum franchise tax, must be current before dissolution is approved.

California does not charge a filing fee for LLC dissolution, making it one of the more affordable states to close a business. However, the tax clearance process typically takes 4-8 weeks, and all outstanding franchise taxes (minimum $800/year) must be paid before clearance is granted. If your LLC has been suspended or forfeited for non-payment, you must first revive the entity and pay all back taxes before dissolution. Expedited processing is not available for tax clearance requests.

Avoid These

Don't Make These Mistakes

1

The most common mistake is failing to obtain state tax clearance before filing dissolution paperwork.

2

without it, the state will reject your filing.

3

Another frequent error is not filing the final franchise tax return for the current year.

4

Many LLC owners also forget to close their federal tax account or close their seller's permit with the state tax agency.

5

Finally, failing to properly notify creditors can leave you personally exposed to liability claims even after dissolution.

California does not charge a state filing fee for LLC dissolution. However, you must pay all outstanding franchise taxes ($800 minimum per year) before the state tax agency will issue tax clearance. Our <a href='/pricing'>service fee starts at $99</a> to handle the entire process for you.

D

The process typically takes 4-8 weeks, primarily due to the tax clearance requirement. The state processes the actual dissolution filing within 1-2 weeks once tax clearance is obtained.

D

Yes. California requires tax clearance from the state tax agency before the state will process your dissolution. You can request this from the state tax agency.

D

If you don't formally dissolve, you'll continue to owe the $800 annual franchise tax to the state tax agency. After non-payment, the state will eventually suspend and then forfeit your LLC, but you'll still owe all accumulated back taxes plus penalties and interest.

D

Yes, but you must first revive the LLC by paying all outstanding taxes, penalties, and filing all delinquent returns. Once the state tax agency reinstates the entity, you can then proceed with the dissolution process.

D

No. Dissolving a California LLC is a state filing, not a legal proceeding. You file your dissolution paperwork with the state and request state tax clearance. Our service handles the entire process for $99 — a California business attorney typically charges $1,500–$5,000 for the same paperwork.
