Add Esignature To Legal Connecticut Startup For S-Corporation Forms For Free

To change your Connecticut registered agent you have to file a Change of Agent form with the Connecticut Secretary of the State, Commercial Recording Division (SOTS). Connecticut has one form for domestic business entities and another form for foreign entities.

The Connecticut registered agent must be a state resident or a company that provides registered agent services. Connecticut registered agents must maintain a physical street address in the state. If an individual is appointed, he or she must be at least 18 years of age.

To form a Connecticut S corp, you'll need to ensure your company has a Connecticut formal business structure (LLC or corporation), and then you can elect S corp tax designation. If you've already formed an LLC or corporation, file Form 2553 with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to designate S corp taxation status.

Connecticut recognizes the federal S corporation election and does not require a state-level S corporation election.

A Connecticut Registered Agent is a person or company who agrees to accept legal mail and notices on behalf of your Connecticut LLC. Legal mail (called Service of Process) is sent if your LLC is involved in a lawsuit. Additionally, the state may send notices and reminders to your LLC's Registered Agent.

Yes, you can be your own Registered Agent in Connecticut as long as you meet the state requirements. (Unfortunately, most Registered Agent Services and LLC filing companies hide this information.)
