What an LLC costs every year in Oklahoma

Annual Certificate

$25

Each year on the anniversary date of the Articles of Organization An LLC that has not filed within 60 days after the due date loses good standing and cannot bring a lawsuit in Oklahoma courts until reinstated.

State tax on the LLC

Oklahoma's franchise tax ended after tax year 2023, so LLCs file no franchise tax return. An LLC taxed as a partnership pays no entity-level income tax. If it has Oklahoma-source income, it files Form 514 within 30 days after its federal return is due, and it withholds Oklahoma tax on income distributed to nonresident members unless they file an exemption affidavit. A single-member LLC disregarded for federal purposes reports on its owner's return.

How long Oklahoma takes

The Secretary of State does not publish a standard processing time, and Articles of Organization can be filed online at any hour. Filings presented in person before 4:30 p.m. CT get same-day service for an extra $50 per document. Filings dropped off without the fee are processed in the order received.

What is different about Oklahoma

• An Oklahoma LLC can serve as its own registered agent.
• Annual certificate reminders are sent only by email, to the address on file with the Secretary of State.
• If the annual certificate goes unpaid for three years, the Articles of Organization are canceled automatically on the third anniversary of the due date.

What else you pay in year one

Registered agent. Free if you serve as your own agent at a Oklahoma street address; a service charges an annual fee if you would rather keep your address off the public record.
EIN. Free from the IRS. Anyone charging for an EIN alone is charging for the form.
Annual report or franchise tax. Most states ask for a yearly report and some charge a fee or tax with it; the amount and deadline are set by Oklahoma. Check the Secretary of State page before you file so the first renewal is not a surprise.
Licences and permits. City and county rules depend on what the business does, not on the entity type.
