How do I file a final return when I close or de-register a business?

Overview

You are closing your business with a specific jurisdiction and would like your return marked as a final return.

Environment

Avalara Returns

Resolution

• When electronically filing, not all returns have the ability to be marked as Final due to the option not being present.

  • Therefore, Avalara will not be able to mark your returns as "Final".

• To de-register your business, please contact the states and local jurisdictions where you do business and complete the required steps.
