How to Dissolve an LLC in Massachusetts

What you need to know about Massachusetts LLC dissolution

Massachusetts charges no fee for LLC dissolution but $100 for corporations.

Massachusetts LLC dissolution is handled by the Massachusetts Secretary of State. The official form is called the Certificate of Cancellation, and it must be signed by an authorized member, manager, or officer of the LLC.

Massachusetts dissolution process

1. Member or manager approval — per your operating agreement, get the required approval to dissolve.
2. Wind up affairs — collect receivables, pay outstanding debts, distribute remaining assets to members.
3. File the Certificate of Cancellation — submit to the Massachusetts Secretary of State along with the applicable filing fee.
4. File final federal and state tax returns — marked as "final return."
5. Cancel licenses, permits, and registrations — local, state, and any other jurisdictions.
