There are a few reasons why a UtahLLC might fail to be in good standing. These include not filing the necessary paperwork, such as the annual report; falling behind on taxes or fees owed to the state; and failing to maintain a registered agent or office.
If you find that your LLC is not in good standing, you will need to take action to rectify the situation. This includes paying any fees or taxes owed, filing the necessary paperwork, and ensuring that all other requirements are met in order to be compliant with state law.
If your LLC’s good standing status has lapsed, you can begin the process of restoring it by filing the necessary paperwork and paying any outstanding taxes or fees. You may also need to submit additional documents or forms.
Once all of this is taken care of, you should contact the Utah State Tax Commission to let them know that you have taken the necessary steps to restore your LLC’s good standing status. They will then issue a new Letter of Good Standing and you can continue doing business as usual.
You will only need to provide your Utah LLC name and contact information. No additional documentation is required.
Your Certificate of Existence will be issued immediately after you submit your request.
No, the Certificate of Existence is valid for six months from the date it was issued. After that, you can simply request a new one.
