Note: Ohio has no annual report and no annual LLC maintenance fee — one of the most hassle-free states to keep an LLC in. The Commercial Activity Tax is very unlikely to reach a care business: the annual exclusion rose to $3 million for 2024 and $6 million for 2025 onward, and the annual minimum tax was eliminated, so a business under $6 million in Ohio taxable gross receipts neither registers nor files.
