Uh Oh! My LLC Just Did a Beyonce and Moved (Filing Edition): How to Change Your New York LLC Address
So, your LLC has decided to spread its wings and move to a new address in the glorious state of New York. Maybe you're ditching the shoebox office for a swanky co-working space, or your operations have simply outgrown your grandma's basement (hey, we've all been there). Whatever the reason, congrats on the move! But before you blast "Crazy In Love" at max volume to celebrate, there's a little paperwork to tackle.
Don't worry, this ain't brain surgery (unless you're a brain surgeon LLC, in which case, kudos!). Here's how to get your New York LLC address changed with minimal stress and maximum efficiency.
Step 1: Fill Out a Form That Won't Make You Want to File for Therapy
New York's Department of State is all about keeping things official. The good news? They won't make you decipher ancient scrolls to change your address. The not-so-exciting news? There's a form involved. It's called a Certificate of Change (sounds fancy, right?), and you can find it on the Department of State's website [Dramatic pause for suspense drumroll please...] somewhere. (Okay, okay, fine, it's actually pretty easy to find. But hey, gotta build some suspense!)
Step 2: Channel Your Inner Accountant (Light Sweaters Optional)
There's a small filing fee of $30 attached to this little address change shindig. So dig out your checkbook, credit card, or carrier pigeon trained in financial transactions (hey, no judgement here) and get ready to settle up.
Step 3: Don't Get Lost in the Mail
Once you've filled out the form and secured your $30 offering, mail it to the New York Department of State (address provided on the form, because magic isn't real). Make sure you return receipt requested, so you know your little address change form didn't decide to take a permanent vacation to Florida.
Step 4: High Five Yourself (Because You Deserve It!)
You've officially changed your LLC's address in New York! Now you can blast "Crazy In Love" at ear-splitting volumes and celebrate your victory.
Bonus Step: Don't Forget Your BFF, the IRS
While you've informed New York about your move, don't forget to let the IRS know your new digs as well. You can do this by filing a Form DTF-96, Report of Address Change for Business Tax Accounts.
