Steps to Dissolve, Surrender, or Cancel a California LLC:
- File all delinquent tax returns and pay all tax balances, including any penalties, fees, and interest.
- File the final/current year tax return. Check the applicable Final Return box on the first page of the return, and write “final” at the top of the first page. All tax returns remain subject to audit until the statute of limitations expires.

Hello, I am contacting you to see if you are able to help - we are an Australian registered company working mainly in the Wine Industry. We have seen rapid demand for our products in the US wine market. We would like to set up a US Trading bank account to the US and grow our US business. We contacted HSBC Bank and they advised that we need to obtain a 'authority to do business in the US' Can you help us with this process? Is the information given to us by HSBC Bank correct? looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards - Jason Harris
