LLC fees in Florida

Varies

Are LLC Fees Tax Deductible in Florida?

Short answer: Yes, as a business expense: Florida charges $125 ($100 filing + $25 registered agent designation) to form an LLC; ongoing: $138.75 annual report. Due Jan 1-May 1; $400 late fee after May 1 (total $538.75).

Annual report fees and state LLC taxes are ordinary business expenses (IRC §162). Formation fees are organizational costs: deduct up to $5,000 the first year and amortize the rest over 15 years (IRC §195, §709).

Records to keep: Keep the state filing receipt, proof of payment, and your LLC's formation and annual report confirmations.
