State tax account closure checklist
Closing a business does not close its state tax accounts. Pick a state and get the checklist for closing its payroll and sales tax accounts: the agency, the form, the portal, the fee, and the timing the agency publishes, each cited to the state's own material with the date it was checked. 23 states are documented so far. Free, no signup, printable.
Pick a state to see its checklist. Only states whose closure process has been verified against the state's own agencies appear in the list; a state that is absent has not been documented yet, which is a statement about this site and not about the state.
This tool prints what each state publishes about closing its accounts. It is not legal or tax advice, and whether a particular business should close an account is a determination for the business or its advisor. Regcrest LLC is a document preparation and filing service that files these closures for businesses and behind accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll firms. The 50-state reference table is at how to close payroll tax accounts, state by state, and the service itself at payroll tax account closure and sales tax account closure.
