If a Board of Directors has been appointed for the South Dakota Corporation then the Board is required to adopt a resolution to Dissolve the SD 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 South Dakota. We will also compile a formal resolution to Dissolve the South Dakota Corporation for your records.

If a South Dakota 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 South Dakota.

As soon as the preliminary South Dakota Corporation Dissolution actions are completed we will prepare and file the Articles of Dissolution with the South Dakota Secretary of State in the quickest way possible

All Dissolved South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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 South Dakota Corporation.  Once the IRS links an EIN to a South Dakota Corporation, that EIN stays with the South Dakota Corporation even after the Company has been Dissolved by the South Dakota Secretary of State.

When the IRS processes the final tax return for the South Dakota 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 South Dakota Corporation's EIN account closed as quickly as possible.
