LLC fees in Vermont

$155

Are LLC Fees Tax Deductible in Vermont?

Short answer: Yes, as a business expense: Vermont charges $155 to form an LLC; ongoing: $45 annual report. $250 minimum business entity tax for LLCs taxed as partnerships (generally not single-member disregarded LLCs). Annual report due within 3 months of fiscal year end.

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.
