ABS · CT Guide
Before forming or operating a company in Connecticut, review entity type, registered-agent records, annual reports, state tax, federal tax, and e-commerce bookkeeping requirements.
Connecticut annual report requirements depend on the entity. The official fee table lists $80 for an LLC, LLP, or limited partnership, $150 for a stock corporation, and $50 for a non-stock corporation. File online at Business.CT.gov. Confirm the next due date on the state portal. The annual report is not a corporate tax return.

Confirm entity type, owners, management, name, business activity, registered agent, and any in-state address requirements. An LLC and a corporation have different governance, tax elections, and recurring filings; first-year price alone is not a sound basis for choosing.
After formation, use the state business portal to review tax, employer, and industry-license registrations.
02
The annual report fee is generally $80. Confirm on the state website before filing. An LLC annual report is generally filed between January 1 and March 31 each year.
03
Cross-border sellers should test economic nexus using sales, transactions, inventory, and marketplace collection records. Review the taxability of digital goods and specified services as well.
04
State formation does not replace federal tax filing. A U.S. entity with foreign ownership may involve an EIN, Form 1120, Form 5472, Form 1065, withholding, or information returns. The applicable filing depends on tax classification, ownership, transactions, and operating facts.
05
ABS can organize state formation records, coordinate registered-agent service, build annual-report and state-tax calendars, and support e-commerce bookkeeping, income tax, sales tax, payroll tax, and IRS or state notice intake. Scope and pricing are confirmed in writing after the facts are reviewed.
