My North Carolina LLC is remote except for one manager. Do I still treat the annual report as a major filing?
I live in Poland and own a North Carolina LLC for a small digital marketing agency. Revenue was about $58,000, and my only real U.S. connection is a manager based in Charlotte who handles client communication. Everything else is remote.
The annual report feels minor compared with payroll and federal tax work, but I have learned that the small state filings are often the ones people regret ignoring. Is North Carolina one of those states?
