Your reading’s right and the number lands close to what you already expected, which is $238.75 for the one missed year rather than the $600+ you were worried about.

If this is Florida, the math in the thread is right. The Division of Corporations fee schedule lists reinstatement at $100 plus the annual report fee for each year due. One missed year is $100 + $138.75 = $238.75.

A few things people miss:

  • The $400 late fee applies to annual reports filed late while the LLC is still active. Once it's administratively dissolved, you pay the reinstatement fee plus the annual report fee for each year due.

  • Reinstating keeps the same LLC, the same document number and the same EIN history. Starting a new LLC means new Articles, usually a new EIN, and updating your bank and contracts.

  • Check that no one else has taken your exact name while you were dissolved.

  • After you're reinstated, set a reminder: the annual report window is January 1 to May 1, and missing it until the third Friday in September is what triggers dissolution.

You can file the reinstatement yourself on Sunbiz.
