An Idaho LLC is created when the ID Secretary of State approves the Articles of Organization.
A record of the Idaho LLC is added to the list of LLCs which have officially registered with
the Idaho Secretary of State.
Once a LLC is registered with the Idaho Secretary of State, that LLC immediately has both reporting and tax
obligations which incur penalties if the obligations are not met by the required deadlines.
If you've registered an Idaho LLC with the Idaho Secretary of State and want to cease business activities
you have to let the ID Secretary of State know that you intend to close your company.
Only after the ID Secretary of State has made sure that all of the obligations of the Idaho LLC have been fulfilled will
the Secretary of State approve of the closure of the company.
When the Idaho Secretary of State approves the closing of an ID LLC, that Idaho LLC is said to be
Dissolved.
The process of Dissolving an Idaho LLC is called Idaho LLC Dissolution.
|
Why do I need to Dissolve an Idaho LLC? |
As soon as an Idaho LLC is registered with the ID Secretary of State, that LLC is responsible for
recurring obligations of the Idaho Secretary of State and the Idaho Idaho Tax Commission.
If the Idaho LLC does not file reports or pay taxes then that ID Limited Liability Company could be responsible for
penalties which go up as time goes by.
Unless you Dissolve your Idaho LLC with the Idaho Secretary of State that ID Limited Liability Company will be responsible for
all recurring fees and penalties.

Idaho LLC Dissolution is one part of a larger process commonly called the "Winding Up" process.
There are things you need to do before you can request approval of LLC Dissolution from the Idaho Secretary of State;
and things that you have to do after the ID Secretary of State has approved Dissolution of the Idaho LLC.
What you have to do both before and after the Idaho LLC is Dissolved largely depends on if the Idaho LLC has commenced business
and how many assets, debts and liabilities, if any, that the ID Limited Liabilty Company has.
If the Idaho LLC has not commenced business then the ID Limited Liability Company Dissolution process is easier.

|
1. Distribute all remaining assets of the Idaho LLC
|
If the Idaho LLC has any remaining assets, these may be divided according to the Members' ownership interests
in the ID Limited Liability Company.
All distributions to LLC Members must be reported to the IRS.
|
2. Close all business bank accounts of the Idaho LLC
|
If there are any business accounts that have been opened for the Idaho LLC then those accounts must be closed.
If Company Business accounts are left open there may be liability and obligations of the Dissolved Idaho LLC which could
lead to legal problems down the line.
|
3. Cancel all local business licenses and permits of the ID LLC
|
If the Idaho LLC has obtained any state, regional, county or city business licenses or permits, each
of those must be cancelled to avoid any reporting or fiscal obligations of the Idaho LLC.
This includes business registration licenses as well as reseller permits.
|
4. File IRS Form 966
|
Most Dissolved Idaho LLCs must file IRS Form 966 with the US Internal Revenue Service.
If an Idaho LLC is required to file IRS Form 966, the filing is required within 30 days after the final Dissolution
plan is approved.
Filing IRS Form 966 lets the Federal Government know that the Idaho LLC has been legally Dissolved
so that it may take the appropriate actions.
- We can prepare IRS Form 966 for you to file.
|
5. Cancel the IRS account associated with the ID LLC's Federal Tax ID (EIN)
|
A Federal Tax ID, or Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), is like the Social Security Number for the Idaho LLC. 
Once the IRS links an EIN to an Idaho LLC, that EIN stays with the Idaho LLC even after the Company has been Dissolved by the
Idaho Secretary of State.
When the IRS processes the final tax return for the Idaho LLC, they automatically make the EIN inactive.
However, the account associated with the EIN is not automatically closed.
Closing the account associated with the EIN lessens the likelihood of any problems with the EIN account, or with the IRS, in the future.
If you should decide to revivie the Idaho LLC down the line then the IRS will reactivate the old EIN for your new Business.
Before an Idaho LLC can close an EIN account, it must be in Good Standing with the IRS.
The Idaho LLC must have filed all required tax returns and paid any applicable fees and penalties due to the IRS.
The Idaho LLC cannot close its EIN account until the IRS has received payment for any tax amounts the Company may owe.
- We can prepare the formal documents which you can sign and submit to the IRS in order to close the account
associated with your EIN.
