LLC fees in Louisiana

$125

Are LLC Fees Tax Deductible in Louisiana?

Short answer: Yes, as a business expense: Louisiana charges $125 to form an LLC; ongoing: $35 annual report. Fees increased Oct 1, 2026 under Act 921 (formerly $100 formation / $30 report). Annual report due on the formation anniversary.

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.
