Tax and annual obligations

  • State income tax: levied — but whether it applies to you follows real activity in the state, not the fact of forming there
  • Sales tax: levied on sales inside the state
  • Annual report: not required for LLCs
  • Federal obligations: unchanged whichever state you pick — the annual return, and Form 5472 with 1120 for a foreign owner where it applies. The federal BOI report has not applied to US-formed companies since March 2025

Questions about forming in New Mexico

What does it cost to form an LLC in New Mexico?

The filing fee in New Mexico is $50 for an LLC and $100 for a C-Corp. There is no recurring government fee after that, which is what makes New Mexico one of the cheapest states over the long run. 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 New Mexico?

Formation documents in New Mexico usually issue within 7 business days on the standard route, or 2 business days with expedited filing for an extra $50. 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 New Mexico?

No. New Mexico requires no annual report from LLCs, which means no recurring state fee at all. Your federal obligations at the IRS are unchanged, and the registered agent still renews.

Do I pay New Mexico state income tax?

New Mexico levies a state income tax, but whether it reaches you depends on having real activity — nexus — inside the state, not on the fact of forming there. Many non-resident-owned companies with no activity in the state do not owe it. We review your position and set out what applies; this is general information and does not replace advice from a licensed accountant.

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

Yes. New Mexico 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.
