Complainces in US
Post-Incorporation & Ongoing Compliance in the US
In the US, compliance is state-driven but federally significant—staying on top of both keeps your business running and protects you from costly penalties.
At CadreHub, we help you navigate the different rules across US states and federal agencies, so you can focus on building your brand.
Corporate & State Requirements 🏢
📅 Annual or Biennial Reports
Most US states require corporations and LLCs to file an annual or biennial report with the Secretary of State, updating business addresses, directors/managers, and registered agent details.
🏛️ Registered Agent
Maintain a registered agent with a physical address in your state of incorporation to receive legal and tax notices.
📑 Corporate Records
Keep up-to-date bylaws/operating agreements, minutes of meetings, stock/member ledgers, and key resolutions in your corporate records book.
Federal & State Tax Compliance 💼
📊 Federal Tax Filings
-
Corporations: File Form 1120 (C-Corp) or Form 1120-S (S-Corp) with the IRS annually.
-
LLCs: Single-member LLCs file on Schedule C with Form 1040; multi-member LLCs file Form 1065.
💸 State & Local Taxes
File corporate income, franchise, or gross receipts taxes depending on your state. Some cities (like New York City) also have local taxes.
🛒 Sales & Use Tax
If you sell taxable goods or services, register for sales tax in each state where you have a “nexus” and file returns monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Employment & Payroll Obligations 🛂
👨💼 Payroll Taxes
Withhold and pay federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare (FICA), along with state income taxes where applicable.
📑 Workers’ Compensation & Unemployment
Register for and pay state unemployment insurance (SUI) and maintain workers’ compensation coverage as required.
🏦 Employment Law Compliance
Follow federal labor laws (FLSA, OSHA, EEOC) and state-specific employment regulations.
Other Key Compliance Items ⚖️
🔍 Beneficial Ownership Reporting (BOI)
Starting January 1, 2024, most small businesses must file beneficial ownership information with FinCEN under the Corporate Transparency Act.
