Questions about forming in Florida

What does it cost to form an LLC in Florida?

The filing fee in Florida is $125 for an LLC and $70 for a C-Corp. A further $138.75 a year follows after that, so total government fees in the first year come to $263.75. These are the government's own fees, paid to it directly with no Aurages markup; the plan subscription is separate and published.

How long does it take to form a company in Florida?

Formation documents in Florida usually issue within 7 business days on the standard route, or 2 business days with expedited filing for an extra $52. The EIN takes additional time on a separate track at the IRS and is unaffected by how fast the state moves.

Do I have to file an annual report in Florida?

Yes. Florida requires an annual report with a $138.75 fee due 1 مايو. Missing it incurs a penalty and can go as far as the state administratively dissolving the company — which is why the date sits in the compliance calendar in your dashboard with a reminder ahead of it.

Do I pay Florida state income tax?

No. Florida levies no state income tax, though it does levy sales tax on sales inside the state. Your federal obligation at the IRS remains, depending on the entity type and where the income comes from.

Can I form a company in Florida from outside the United States?

Yes. Florida requires no US citizenship, no residency and no personal appearance, and you can own the company outright — 100%. What the state does require is a registered agent and an address inside it to receive official correspondence, and both are included in every Aurages plan.
