As a lawyer, I can provide you the following legal advice for dissolving your LLC in Georgia.
The first step in dissolving your LLC in Georgia is to review your LLC's operating agreement and any other related documents to ensure you are following the proper procedures as outlined in those documents. Generally, the operating agreement will specify the necessary steps to dissolve the LLC.
The next step is to hold a meeting of the LLC's members to officially vote on the dissolution of the LLC, as well as other issues related to winding up the LLC's affairs. This meeting must be documented in the LLC's meeting minutes.
After the meeting has taken place, the LLC must file Articles of Dissolution with the Georgia Secretary of State's office. The Articles of Dissolution must be signed by a majority of the LLC's members and should include information such as the name of the LLC, the date the Articles of Organization were filed, and the reason for dissolution. The filing fee is $100.
The LLC must also ensure that all debts and obligations owed by the LLC are paid in full and that all property and assets are properly distributed among the members in accordance with the operating agreement or Georgia law. Any remaining assets should be liquidated in a manner consistent with the LLC's governing documents.
It is important to note that while the LLC is in the process of dissolution, it must continue to file tax returns and pay any taxes owed until the dissolution is complete. The LLC must file its final tax return and pay any outstanding taxes no later than the fifteenth day of the fourth month after the LLC has dissolved.
After the LLC has completed these steps, it should file a final tax return with the Georgia Department of Revenue and request that the LLC's tax account be closed.
If you have any concerns or questions about dissolving your LLC in Georgia, it is recommended that you consult with a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction who can provide specific legal advice tailored to your individual circumstances.
