Tax Clearance Application for Business/Certificate of Compliance for Dissolution/Withdrawal

Taxpayers can obtain a Certificate of Compliance for Dissolution or Withdrawal based on the criteria listed below:

 

  1. Be in compliance with all tax types (individual, TPT, withholding, corporate, and partnership), and have no liabilities and/or delinquencies with ADOR.
  2. All licenses must be closed.
  3. File a final corporate income tax return. Business must be done and over with before applying for dissolution/withdrawal.
  4. If filing under a consolidated tax return, a Letter of Assumption must be submitted.
  5. If anyone other than an authorized officer is signing the application, Form 285B must be submitted with the Tax Clearance application.
  6. If tax exempt, the Letter of Determination from IRS stating tax exemption is required.

 

Also, please note that being on a payment plan does not suffice, and all liabilities must be paid in full.

Please allow at least 30 business days to process the Tax Clearance application. A Certificate of Compliance specific to a request will be sent via USPS.
