To incorporate in Massachusetts takes a financial commitment. Massachusetts is one of the highest taxed states in America. High filing fees and High dept of revenue fees take claim to many a business owner's bottom line. Corporate Filings made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts are made with the Secretary of the Commonwealth. You can file a domestic corporation, a domestic LLC, or a foreign LLC on-line. A foreign corporation must be mailed in (unless you go through their fax filing expedite option). Any filings mailed in must have original inked signatures on them. Your Massachusetts Registered Agent must sign the document before you file it.

Corporations have to pay a minimum $425.00 dept of revenue fee every year, plus a $125.00 annual report fee 2.5 months after the end of their fiscal year. LLCs do not pay this fee, but have higher Mass Secretary of Commonwealth fees.

Foreign corporations cost $400.00 to file, and must be done by paper. It's the same annual fees as domestic corporations.
