| State | Formation fee | Every year | Due |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | $102.40 | License tax: greater of $60 or $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming assets | First day of your anniversary month each year |
| New Mexico | $50 | No annual report for LLCs | Nothing due each year at state level |

| Florida | $125 | Annual report $138.75 | Between 1 January and 1 May each year |
| Texas | $300 | Franchise tax report: no tax due at or below $2.65 million revenue (2026 and 2027 reports); an information report is still required | 15 May each year |
| Alabama | $200 | Alabama LLCs file no Secretary of State annual report; the recurring state item is the Business Privilege Tax (Form PPT, initial Form BPT-IN within 2.5 months of formation). The 2026 Department of Revenue instructions say a taxpayer whose privilege tax is $100 or less has no filing requirement for taxable year 2026, so a typical small LLC owes $0; larger LLCs pay $0.25 to $1.75 per $1,000 of taxable net worth, due with the matching federal return (15 March for calendar-year limited liability entities per the Department's FAQ). | |
| Alaska | $250 | Biennial report $100 every 2 years, due 2 January of even-numbered years for LLCs formed in an even year and odd-numbered years for LLCs formed in an odd year; filing opens 2 October of the previous year and a $37.50 late fee applies from 2 February ($137.50 in total). | |
| Arizona | $50 | No annual report for LLCs; the Arizona Corporation Commission says only corporations file annual reports. | |
| Arkansas | $45 | Annual franchise tax report with the $150 minimum franchise tax, due on or before 1 May each year starting the calendar year after formation; filing online adds a card processing fee starting at $5 ($3 by e-check). | |

| Kentucky | $40 | Annual report $15, filed 1 January to 30 June each year starting the year after formation. Separately, most LLCs (including a single-member LLC owned by an individual, on Form 725) owe the limited liability entity tax (LLET), with a $175 minimum when gross receipts or gross profits are $3 million or less. | |
