How LLC Deadline works

Last updated: 2026-11-14

You read the public-source notes on llcdeadline.com for free. If you want the tailored PDF checklist, choose a plan and pay on this site. We email your PDF within 5 minutes and, on the yearly plan, send 30/7/1-day reminders. A 6-digit email code confirms the address during checkout so /account can show the address on the order. The PDF arrives by email, and a lost file is resent from support@llcdeadline.com. The account page does not keep a second copy. We do not file forms, act as an agent, or sell leads.

The site is built around one promise: the free page tells you the date and the fee, and the paid file helps you prepare. Nothing is hidden behind a signup. You can read every state page, every source link, and every FAQ before you decide to pay.

The process has four steps. Read the state page. Choose a plan. Pay on this site and enter the email where the PDF should arrive. File on the state site yourself and pay the state fee yourself. The fourth step is the one that matters, and we never take it away from you.

The paid file is a PDF with only the lines in the checklist section of this document. It is not a government form, and paying does not make you compliant. The button on the pricing page says Email me the checklist. There is no second button and no forced upsell.

What you get

A PDF checklist emailed to you. On the yearly plan, three reminder emails before the date stored with the order: 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day. The PDF repeats the fee, the date, the form name, and the field notes for the state you selected.

A 6-digit code sent to your email confirms the address during checkout. The account page shows the address on the order. It does not store the PDF. When the first email is lost, write support@llcdeadline.com from the address you paid with and we resend the same file.

The yearly plan stores one date. Email support@llcdeadline.com when you need the stored date moved. The reminders follow the stored date, so the schedule moves with it.

What you do not get

Filing, a completed state form, a phone call, or a government receipt. We do not submit the state form and we do not pay the state fee. We do not act as your registered agent and we do not speak to a state agency on your behalf.

We also do not provide legal, tax, medical, or trade advice. The checklist is an information product. If your question needs a lawyer or an accountant, the right next step is a professional, not a different plan on this site.

There is no phone number to call because there is no phone support. Support is email at support@llcdeadline.com, sent from the same domain, with a reply address you can verify.

How long it takes

The mail leaves within 5 minutes after the payment callback marks the order paid. If it is missing, check spam or write support@llcdeadline.com from the address you used. If the email is missing, write support@llcdeadline.com and we resend the same file. The account page does not store the PDF.

A delayed payment callback can delay the email. If the card was charged and the email has not arrived after a reasonable wait, write support with the order details. Do not pay a second time just because the first email is slow.

Reminder emails follow the schedule stored with the order, not the moment you open the PDF. Email support@llcdeadline.com to move the stored date, and the reminders follow that date.

What the checkout asks for

The checkout asks for an email address, the state, an optional file number, and a due date where the state requires one. Massachusetts, California, Wyoming, Nevada, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Virginia, Washington, Colorado, and Michigan need a date tied to your formation record. Florida, Delaware, Texas, and Georgia use a locked calendar date.

There is no phone field. There is no address field and no card field on this site. Card details are handled by our payment processor. If a request carries an amount or a currency, the server ignores it and reads the price from its own table.

The file number is optional because the PDF is a working sheet, not a state form. If you enter it, the PDF prints the number you typed so you can copy it into the state system without searching. If you leave it blank, the checklist still works.

How the account works

The account page is a read-only status page, not a membership and not a file cabinet. During checkout you enter your email, receive a 6-digit code, and confirm it before payment. There is no password to remember and no password to lose.

The account page shows the email on the current session. It does not store the PDF, change the date, or cancel a renewal. Email support@llcdeadline.com for those. The account is not indexed by search engines, and it is not a public profile.

The email delivers the PDF and the one-time download link. You do not need the account page to receive the file. A resend comes from support@llcdeadline.com.

How reminders are scheduled

The yearly plan schedules three emails: 30 days, 7 days, and 1 day before the stored date. Each email names the date and the days left, and each one carries a one-click unsubscribe link.

A reminder is a calendar alert, not a filing and not a legal opinion. If the email arrives and you do nothing, the state still sees no filing. The value of the reminder is the prompt, not the email itself.

You can stop the emails with the unsubscribe link in a reminder. Stopping them does not cancel a charge that already happened. It stops future reminder emails.

Refunds and limits

The 7-day refund rule applies when the PDF was not downloaded and no checklist or reminder email was sent. Write from the address you paid with, and the refund returns to the original payment method. A bank can take 5 to 10 business days to post it.

After the file is downloaded or the first email is sent, the sale is final. The yearly plan can be canceled any time, which stops the next charge and future reminders but does not refund a period in which we already emailed the checklist or a reminder.

You must be 18 or older. The PDF is for your own use and may not be resold. These limits are written in the terms and applied at checkout.

Who should not buy

Anyone who wants us to file, pay a state fee, or act as a registered agent. Anyone who needs a legal opinion or a tax calculation. Anyone who wants a government form instead of a checklist.

If you only need the date and the fee, the free state page is enough. Buying the PDF does not unlock a different date or a different fee. It gives you a prepared working sheet and, on the yearly plan, reminders.

How the checklist follows each state

On Florida you read the free page first. The filing window runs from January 1 through May 1, the fee is $138.75, and the late fee after May 1 is $400. The report is filed online, and the identifier the state asks for is the document number. The yearly plan stores May 1. The PDF repeats those facts and the line that says you file on the state site. You then leave llcdeadline.com and complete the report at the Florida Division of Corporations. We do not sign in to that system, and we do not collect the $138.75.

On Delaware the free page says a limited liability company does not file an annual report. The obligation is an annual tax of $400.00 due on or before June 1. A late payment draws a $200 penalty and interest of 1.5 percent per month on the tax and the penalty. The corporation annual report due March 1 is a different document, and it is not printed on the LLC checklist. The yearly plan stores June 1. You pay the tax on the state site, from an account you control, and you keep the state confirmation with your entity records.

On California the free page names Form LLC-12. An initial statement is due within 90 days of registration, and later statements are due every two years during the registration month and the five months before it. The fee is $20.00 and the late penalty is $250.00. From August 1, 2026, web user access is required before a Statement of Information can be filed. Checkout asks for your own date because California has no single statewide day. The franchise tax is a separate bill. This site does not print an amount for it, because that amount was not copied from a Franchise Tax Board page.

On Texas the free page sets the franchise tax report at May 15, or the next business day when that date is not a business day. For the 2026 and 2027 report years the no-tax-due threshold is $2,650,000. Form 05-102 and Form 05-167 are still required at or below that threshold, and skipping the report can forfeit the right to transact business. The old no-tax-due report is discontinued, so the checklist does not tell you to file it and points you to Form 05-102 or Form 05-167 instead. The reminder still uses May 15. The PDF does not calculate the tax you owe and does not tell you that zero tax means zero paperwork.

On Massachusetts the free page says every limited liability company files on or before the anniversary of its certificate of organization, and that the fee is $500. A foreign limited liability company files on the anniversary of its Massachusetts registration, and that fee is also $500. There is no statewide day, so checkout asks for the date in your own record. A reminder built on a bank-account anniversary or a first-sale date is only a prompt to open the state record. It is not a corrected anniversary.

What you keep after the email arrives

After the payment callback marks the order paid, the email is the product. It leaves within 5 minutes from support@llcdeadline.com. The download link in that message works once. If the message is missing, check spam and then write that same support address from the address you paid with. We resend the same file. Signing in does not open a second copy, because the account page does not store the PDF.

The account page can show the email address on the session. It does not change the stored date, and it does not cancel a yearly plan. A date change, a resend, and a cancellation are three separate emails to support@llcdeadline.com. A cancellation stops the next charge and future reminders. It does not refund a period in which the checklist or a reminder was already sent. Stopping reminders with the unsubscribe link is not the same action as canceling the yearly charge.

You still open the state site, you still type the answers into the state form, and you still pay the state with a method the state accepts. A finished checklist is a preparation sheet. A state acceptance notice, or a state payment receipt, is the only proof the agency has the filing or the tax. We never issue that notice, and we never ask you to forward it to us.

If two entities share one inbox, use the optional file number so the PDF lines are different. Each order stores one state and one date. A second entity is a second order, not a second line on the same PDF. The price on this page does not change because you own more than one company, and we do not sell a bundle, a phone call, or a same-day upgrade.

The free pages stay available after you pay. You can re-read the fee, the penalty, and the official link without a code. If an official page changes a number, we change the sentence on the matching state page and move the read date with it. The PDF you already received keeps the numbers from the day it was generated. A later correction on the website does not rewrite a file that has already been emailed. If you need the newer sheet, that is a new order or a resend we send only after the template itself has been updated.

The whole loop is the same in every state even when the date is not. Read the free page. Compare it with your own record. Pay only if you want the working sheet or the reminders. File and pay on the state site. Keep the state receipt. Write support@llcdeadline.com if the email, the stored date, or the yearly charge needs a human to change it. That is the product. Anything past that line is a service we do not sell.
