FAQ
Last updated: 2026-11-14
These are the questions we receive most often. The short answers are below; the state pages carry the fee and the date for each state, and the pricing page carries the plan details.
The most important answer is the boundary. We publish facts with source links and we email a PDF checklist. We do not file a report, pay a state fee, or act as a registered agent. If you need one of those services, this site is not the right product.
If your question is about a specific state, open that state page first. It has the fee, the late penalty, the form, and the official link. The answers here are about the product, the delivery, and the account.
What the product is
LLC Deadline sells a PDF checklist and, on the yearly plan, reminder emails. The checklist covers the state you select and repeats the lines that matter: the date, the fee, the form, and the field notes.
The PDF is generated after payment and sent by email. It is not stored on the account page for a second download. It is a working document, not a government form and not a filing receipt.
The free pages on this site carry the same core facts. You can read them without paying. The paid file saves you the step of assembling the lines yourself and, on the yearly plan, adds the reminder schedule.
The free pages are not a truncated version of the paid file. They carry the full fee, date, penalty, and official link. What the paid file adds is a single working sheet for one state and, on the yearly plan, the reminder schedule.
What the product is not
It is not a filing service. We do not submit the state form, pay the state fee, or act as your registered agent. You complete the filing on the state site and pay the state yourself.
It is not legal, tax, or trade advice. It is not a government form. Paying for it does not make your entity compliant and does not create a state receipt.
It is not a lead-generation service. We do not sell your email or answers to contractors, lead brokers, or advertisers, and there is no phone number field on the site.
Price and billing
The yearly plan is $39 and is selected by default. The one-time plan is $19. The server reads the price from its own table, so a browser cannot change the amount.
The state fee is separate. A Florida LLC pays $138.75 to Sunbiz, a Delaware LLC pays a $400 tax, a California LLC pays $20 for the statement, and a Massachusetts LLC pays $500. Those amounts are paid to the state, not to this site.
The yearly plan renews once a year until canceled. The one-time plan does not renew. Card charges are handled by our payment processor.
Delivery and account
The checklist email leaves within 5 minutes after the payment callback marks the order paid. It comes from support@llcdeadline.com. Support resends the file if the email is lost.
The account uses a 6-digit code sent to your email. There is no password. Sign in with the same address you paid with and the page shows that address. The PDF stays in the email. A resend comes from support.
A one-time download link in the email works once. Support can resend the same file. That design keeps a forwarded email from becoming an unlimited free download.
Refunds and cancellation
If the PDF was not downloaded and no checklist or reminder email was sent, email support@llcdeadline.com within 7 days of payment for a full refund to the original payment method. Banks often take 5 to 10 business days to show it.
After the file is downloaded or the first email is sent, the sale is final. The yearly plan can still be canceled to stop the next charge and future reminders.
We do not collect government fees, so we do not refund government fees. We do not pay a penalty that an agency charges you.
Data and privacy
We store the email you enter, the answers you type into the checklist, and a visitor cookie used for first-touch attribution. We do not store card numbers. We do not sell the data.
You can ask us to delete a reminder schedule or an account profile by emailing support@llcdeadline.com. We complete deletion within 7 days while keeping the payment record required for accounting.
The account is not indexed by search engines and is not a public profile.
How a date is checked before it goes on a page
A date is added to a state article only after a person opens the official page, finds the sentence that states the deadline, and copies it. The same pass records the fee, the penalty, and the form name, and it stamps the article with the read date. If the official page states a rule for a particular report year, the article says which years the sentence covers instead of presenting it as permanent.
Four of the ten dates are locked to a calendar day, and the checkout stores the next occurrence of that day rather than a date the buyer types: May 1 for Florida, June 1 for Delaware, May 15 for Texas, and April 1 for Georgia. Once a locked date has passed, the next order stores the following year. California, Massachusetts, Wyoming, Nevada, New York, and Illinois follow formation-month or anniversary windows, so the checkout asks for or derives a future due date inside the next 800 days.
What the reminder emails contain
The yearly plan schedules three reminders at 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the date stored with the order. Each is sent by the daily reminder check around 15:00 UTC on the scheduled day, and it goes out only inside the 24 hours that follow, so the number of days left in the subject line stays true. A day the check misses does not produce a late reminder with an old count.
The subject line states how many days are left. The body tells you to open the official page named on the checklist and do the next step yourself, and it repeats that the email is not a filing and not an appointment. A one-click unsubscribe link closes the message. It does not restate a fee or a form number; the checklist and the article carry those.
If a state changes a fee after you buy
When an official page changes a figure, the article is corrected and its read date moves. A file that has already been emailed cannot be edited after it leaves, so it keeps the figures from the day it was generated. Orders placed after the correction are generated from the corrected text. If you hold an older file and want the current one, compare it with the article and with the official link; a file is not a live document.
After a missed deadline
We cannot move a state date, waive a penalty, or make a late filing count as timely, and we do not offer to try. What the articles do is name the consequence before it happens: Florida adds a late amount after May 1, Delaware charges a penalty and monthly interest on the tax and the penalty, California lists a late penalty much larger than the filing fee, and a skipped Texas report can cost the right to transact business in the state.
If the date has already passed, open the official page for the state and follow its late-filing instructions. A checklist bought after the deadline still describes the cycle and the figures, but it does not undo a late fee, and the refund rule does not change because a deadline was missed.
A missed deadline is also the moment to fix the stored date. If a yearly plan is still active and the date on file is in the past, write support@llcdeadline.com from the address you paid with and name the next date you want to track.
Limits by state
Each state page is scoped to the LLC case. Delaware corporations file a different document with a March 1 date. California corporations file a different statement. Massachusetts corporations use a different filing. Texas entity types can differ as well.
If your entity is not an LLC, do not use an LLC page. Confirm the entity type and the form on the official state page before you rely on any checklist.
A state page can change after we read it. The read date is printed on the page. If the official page says something different, the official page wins.
The answers on this page are about the product: the PDF, the two prices, the email, the refund window, and the things we will not do. A question about a Florida fee, a Delaware tax, a California statement, a Texas report, or a Massachusetts anniversary belongs on that state page, where the official link and the read date sit next to the number. If the same question appears here and on a state page, the state page is the one that carries the fee and the date. This page does not restate a filing rule in order to look complete, and it does not add a sixth state. When a sentence here and a sentence on a state page disagree, use the state page and its official link, then write support@llcdeadline.com so we can correct the mismatch.
Questions
What is LLC Deadline?
LLC Deadline emails a PDF checklist for the question covered on this site. We are not a law firm; a registered agent; a Secretary of State; a tax preparer.
How do I use it?
Read the free page. Enter the fields on the pricing page. Pay. The PDF arrives by email. You finish the filing yourself.
How much does it cost?
The yearly plan is selected by default. The one-time plan sits beside it. Amounts are in the server table on the pricing page. Card charges run through the payment company.
Is there a yearly plan?
Yes. The yearly plan is selected when the pricing page opens. Canceling it stops the next charge and future reminders. It does not refund a period already delivered.
How fast is the email?
The mail leaves within 5 minutes of the payment callback. The sender is support@llcdeadline.com, so check that address before treating the message as missing.
The email did not arrive.
Check spam. Write support@llcdeadline.com from the address you paid with. The email link works once. We resend the same file from support@llcdeadline.com.
Who should not buy this?
Anyone who wants us to file, pay a state fee, or act as an agent. You must be 18 or older. The PDF is for your own use.
