Short answer
With Zovud, year one costs a $199 formation fee plus the state fee (from about $50). After that, you pay the state’s yearly report fee or tax (from about $25 to $825), plus a registered agent. Formation + Compliance is $499 a year and includes the annual report and a federal + state tax package.
How this tool works
Year one includes the formation fee, the state filing fee and any first report. Renewal years include the state’s yearly report fee or tax and a registered agent. On Formation, renewals also include the annual report if Zovud files it. Prices are service fees. State fees are at cost and can change.
