you have to let the NJ Department of Treasury know that you intend to close your company.
Only after the NJ Secretary of State has made sure that all of the obligations of the New Jersey LLC have been fulfilled will
the Department of Treasury approve of the closure of the company.
When the New Jersey Department of Treasury approves the closing of a NJ LLC, that New Jersey LLC is said to be
Dissolved.
The process of Dissolving a New Jersey LLC is called New Jersey LLC Dissolution.
A New Jersey LLC must have filed all its required Annual Reports with the NJ Department of Treasury before the New Jersey Department of Treasury will approve the Dissolution of the NJ Limited Liability Company.

As soon as a New Jersey LLC is registered with the NJ Department of Treasury, that LLC is responsible for
recurring obligations of the New Jersey Department of Treasury and the New Jersey Division of Revenue.
If the New Jersey LLC does not file reports or pay taxes then that NJ Limited Liability Company could be responsible for
penalties which go up as time goes by.

New Jersey 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 New Jersey Department of Treasury;
and things that you have to do after the NJ Department of Treasury has approved Dissolution of the New Jersey LLC.
What you have to do both before and after the New Jersey LLC is Dissolved largely depends on if the New Jersey LLC has commenced business
and how many assets, debts and liabilities, if any, that the NJ Limited Liabilty Company has.
If the New Jersey LLC has not commenced business then the NJ Limited Liability Company Dissolution process is easier.

|
1. Distribute all remaining assets of the New Jersey LLC
|
If the New Jersey LLC has any remaining assets, these may be divided according to the Members' ownership interests
in the NJ Limited Liability Company.
All distributions to LLC Members must be reported to the IRS.
|
2. Close all business bank accounts of the New Jersey LLC
|
If there are any business accounts that have been opened for the New Jersey LLC then those accounts must be closed.
If Company Business accounts are left open there may be liability and obligations of the Dissolved New Jersey LLC which could
lead to legal problems down the line.
|
3. Cancel all local business licenses and permits of the NJ LLC
|
If the New Jersey 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 New Jersey LLC.
This includes business registration licenses as well as reseller permits.
|
4. File IRS Form 966
|
Most Dissolved New Jersey LLCs must file IRS Form 966 with the US Internal Revenue Service.
If a New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 NJ LLC's Federal Tax ID (EIN)
|
A Federal Tax ID, or Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), is like the Social Security Number for the New Jersey LLC. 
Once the IRS links an EIN to a New Jersey LLC, that EIN stays with the New Jersey LLC even after the Company has been Dissolved by the
New Jersey Department of Treasury.
When the IRS processes the final tax return for the New Jersey 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 New Jersey LLC down the line then the IRS will reactivate the old EIN for your new Business.
Before a New Jersey LLC can close an EIN account, it must be in Good Standing with the IRS.
The New Jersey LLC must have filed all required tax returns and paid any applicable fees and penalties due to the IRS.
The New Jersey 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.
