Dissolve a Oklahoma LLC or corporation

File with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, then a final tax return.

The catch

A corporation still pays any franchise tax owed for 2023 or earlier when it files, clearance letter or not.

How to close a company in Oklahoma

  1. File your final tax return

    Oklahoma charges $50 for a corporation or an LLC and asks for no tax clearance letter.

  2. Wind up the business

    Hold the vote your governing documents and Oklahoma law require. Pay or set aside what you owe, in the order your lawyer advises.

  3. File with the Oklahoma Secretary of State

    LLC: SOS Form 0080 (Fm0080), $50. corporation: SOS Form 0019 (Fm0019), $50.

  4. Pick how to file

    Online or by mail. No fixed time is published.

  5. Check your records

    Before you close accounts or delete Slack, work out what you must keep and whether a buyer may want it.

Closing the company does not decide what happens to your records. Keep what tax and payroll rules ask for. The IRS gives retention periods on its site. Then check what the rest could be worth before you delete it.
