What am I going to be looking at for ongoing fees to Alabama?

The Alabama Secretary of State requires an annual report when an Alabama corporation files its franchise tax return. (The Alabama business privilege tax return). Alabama C corporations file the CPT. The annual report will cost $10 every March 15th, and the CPT at least $100. Alabama corporations must file an initial return within 2.5 months of incorporation in Alabama, and they are continually due every March 15th. Initial returns are called the BPT-IN and ongoing returns are an AL – CAR. They cost a minimum of $100 but could be more.

The LLC annual reports are due April 15th. Any new LLCs formed or registering to do business in Alabama have to file an initial business privilege tax return within 2.5 months of the registration date.
