If a Board of Directors has been appointed for the Wisconsin Corporation then the Board is required to adopt a resolution to Dissolve the WI Corporation. Minutes of the meeting must be recorded and retained in the business records. We will transcribe the minutes of the Board meeting into a format that is legally acceptable in the state of Wisconsin. We will also compile a formal resolution to Dissolve the Wisconsin Corporation for your records.

If a Wisconsin Corporation has issued shares of stock then a majority of Corporate Shareholders must approve the Dissolution plan. The approval actions should be documented and kept in the business records. We will transcribe the minutes of the Shareholder meeting into a format that is legally acceptable in the state of Wisconsin.

As soon as the preliminary Wisconsin Corporation Dissolution actions are completed we will prepare and file the Articles of Dissolution with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions in the quickest way possible

All Dissolved Wisconsin Corporations must file IRS Form 966 with the US Internal Revenue Service. This filing is required within 30 days after the final Dissolution plan is approved. Filing IRS Form 966 lets the Federal Government know that the Wisconsin Corporation has been legally Dissolved. We will prepare IRS Form 966 for you to file.

A Federal Tax ID, or Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN), is like the Social Security Number for the Wisconsin Corporation.  Once the IRS links an EIN to a Wisconsin Corporation, that EIN stays with the Wisconsin Corporation even after the Company has been Dissolved by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions.

When the IRS processes the final tax return for the Wisconsin Corporation, they automatically make the EIN inactive.  However, the account associated with the EIN is not automatically closed by the IRS.  Closing the account associated with the EIN lessens the likelihood of any problems with the EIN account - or with the IRS - in the future.

We will prepare formal documents to get your Wisconsin Corporation's EIN account closed as quickly as possible.
