Corrections and Updates Log
Every correction and material update to a fee, date, or rule on this site, in public, newest first. If we got it wrong, it goes here. If a state changed it, it goes here too.
| Date | Page | What changed |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 8, 2026 | Delaware pages and calculator | Fifty-state re-verification: Delaware's two sources for the annual tax now agree. When this site launched, the Division of Corporations charged $400 while the Delaware Code Online text of section 18-1107(b) still printed $300, and our pages disclosed that split. The Code text has since been updated to $400, so the split disclosures were rewritten. The amount charged was $400 throughout and no total changed. The same check added a figure the pages had not printed: an LLC with registered series pays an additional $100 annual tax per registered series, plus a $50 penalty per series if late, under section 18-1107(b) and (e). |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Washington guide | An internal drafting note about the dissolution filing fee was published in the guide's text by mistake and has been removed. The fee itself, a $0 base charge for articles of dissolution under WAC 434-112-085, was correct as printed. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Annual reports guide | The guide's body text said a typical report costs "$31 to $150." The correct range across the fifty states is $0 to $500, which is what the page's own FAQ already said. The body text now matches. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Sitewide | Fifty-state sweep: several comparisons written when this site covered five states were corrected. Texas's $300 is the second-highest formation fee, not the highest (Massachusetts charges $500). Arizona's $50 is one of the lowest formation fees, not the joint lowest (Kentucky charges $40). North Carolina's $200 annual report is among the highest, not the joint highest (Massachusetts $500, Maryland $300). Indiana's roughly $15.50 a year is among the lowest recurring costs, not the lowest. Superlative lines on the Ohio, Mississippi, and Illinois cost pages were softened to match the fifty-state figures. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Illinois guide | The statement that Illinois has no single state business license was hedged. The claim could not be verified at a primary source, so the page now says Illinois runs no general state business license for LLCs and points readers to their industry regulator and city clerk. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Services comparison and Northwest vs. ZenBusiness | Three fixes from re-checking the vendors' live pages. ZenBusiness's registered agent pricing is now flagged as inconsistent on the vendor's own pages: $99 plus state fees for the first year on its agent page, a flat $199 a year on its pricing page. Our five-year math keeps the $199 renewal figure, the price that repeats. Bizee's Standard tier no longer implies its compliance alerts are a paid extra, since Bizee's FAQ includes lifetime compliance alerts with every package. And the ZenBusiness five-year path is now described as nearly double Northwest's cost rather than roughly double. The figures themselves, $995 against $539, did not change. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | Nebraska cost page | The name reservation now also shows the $25 electronic filing tier set in section 21-192(1), alongside the $30 figure on the Secretary of State's schedule, which remains the figure our text leads with. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | How to form an LLC | The FAQ for founders without a US Social Security number or ITIN now includes the IRS phone application route for international applicants, which our EIN guide already described. |
| Nov 8, 2026 | BOI tracker | The New York section now states that an exempt foreign LLC files a signed attestation of exemption instead of skipping the filing, on the same deadlines, and that each New York disclosure or attestation carries a $25 filing fee (LLC Law section 1107; New York Department of State). |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Northwest vs. ZenBusiness | Launch-day audit correction: the ZenBusiness Pro five-year path was overstated. Pro plus agent service for five years is $995 before the agent and $1,990 with it, not $1,990 and $2,985 as first published. The error double-counted the agent. Fixed in the table, body text, and FAQ the same day. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | California cost and report pages | Launch-day audit addition: a 2026 law (SB 122) cuts the first-year annual tax to $400 for first tax years beginning in 2027 through 2029, making year one $490 in that window; the pages now say so wherever the $890 total appears. Also added: the $250 penalty for a delinquent Statement of Information, the six-month biennial filing window, and the 10 percent underpayment penalty on the estimated LLC fee, all from the Franchise Tax Board. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | BOI tracker | Launch-day audit corrections: the willful-failure penalty now reads $591 per day, FinCEN's current inflation-adjusted figure (the statute says $500). The data-deletion description was narrowed to what the final rule actually directs: deletion of information FinCEN reasonably believes belongs to US persons. Added the still-live deadlines for foreign companies (April 25, 2025 for earlier registrations; 30 days for later ones) and a section on New York's LLC Transparency Act. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | EIN guide | Launch-day audit corrections from IRS sources: the online application's actual hours (weekdays 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. Eastern, plus weekend hours) replaced a vaguer description; the Form W-9 guidance for single-member LLCs was corrected (a disregarded single-member LLC uses the owner's number on a W-9, not the LLC's EIN); fax and mail timelines added (about 4 business days by fax, about 4 weeks by mail); the lost-letter replacement is now named (Letter 147C, via 800-829-4933). |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Texas report and cost pages | Launch-day audit correction: the $50 penalty applies to a late franchise tax report; the Comptroller states there is no $50 penalty for a late Public Information Report alone, contrary to what our cost story first implied. The real consequence of skipping the free report, forfeiture of the right to transact business, is now stated, with the reinstatement process (Form 801, $75, after Comptroller clearance). |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Florida report page | Launch-day audit correction: the annual report is entered and submitted online only on Sunbiz; mailing a check is a payment method after online submission, not a filing method, and the page no longer says mail filing is accepted. Added the reinstatement math ($100 plus $138.75 per year owed) and the $25 Articles of Dissolution for closing on purpose. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Illinois report page | Launch-day audit precision fixes from the LLC Act: the $100 late penalty grows by $100 for each additional delinquent year, and the 120-day dissolution clock runs from the Secretary of State's notice of delinquency, not from the due date. The $50 expedite is now identified as a paper-filing fee; online reports process in real time. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Registered agent guide and services comparison | Launch-day audit corrections: the commercial agent price range is $125 to $249 a year across the five providers we track (LegalZoom's $249 was missing from the guide's list), not $100 to $200 as first published. On the comparison page, Tailor Brands' branding tools are now credited to the Elite tier only (Essential does not include them), and Bizee's Standard tier is described by its actual contents; expedited filing is Premium-only. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Sitewide | Site launched. All state fees for Indiana, Illinois, Texas, Florida, and California verified against official state sources on this date, and all vendor package and registered agent prices checked on the providers' own pricing pages. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | Registered agent guide | Pre-launch verification: Bizee's registered agent renewal is $149 a year, the figure stated consistently across Bizee's current pricing pages. Lower figures ($99, $119) still circulate in older guides and on some of Bizee's own older pages. Our guide and comparison carry the current $149. |
| Nov 7, 2026 | BOI tracker | Tracker established at the August 14, 2026 final rule (91 FR 52508) with the October 27, 2026 multistate lawsuit noted as pending. Status will be updated here and on the tracker as the case moves. |
