How to Dissolve an LLC in New York

What you need to know about New York LLC dissolution

New York requires tax clearance, $60 filing fee, AND publication of dissolution in two newspapers for six consecutive weeks.

New York LLC dissolution is handled by the New York Secretary of State. The official form is called the Articles of Dissolution, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

New York dissolution process

1. Member or manager approval — per your operating agreement, get the required approval to dissolve.
2. Wind up affairs — collect receivables, pay outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets to members.
3. Obtain tax clearance — confirm with the New York Department of Revenue that all state taxes are paid.
4. File the Articles of Dissolution — submit to the New York Secretary of State along with the $60.00 filing fee.
5. Publish dissolution notice — publish the required notice in a legal newspaper as required by New York law.
6. File final federal and state tax returns — marked as "final return."
7. Cancel licenses, permits, and registrations — local, state, and any other jurisdictions.
