I'm not an attorney, I don't offer legal advice, but everyone keeps asking about the best states for LLC's and then how much each costs.

When you have questions, just get a corporate attorney, it's worth it. Set it up right the first time and you won't have so many headaches down the road
Alaska
* Includes surcharges for online filing and/or copies
**Every corporation that incorporates or qualifies as a foreign corporation in California on or after January 1, 2000 is exempt from the prepayment of franchise tax at the time of filing and ALSO the corporation is exempt from the minimum tax for its first tax year. If a company wants to reincorporate solely to avoid the $800 minimum tax, this is not allowed.
**Nevada formation fees do not include the $125 Initial List of Officers/Members fee imposed by the state. Nevada now requires filing for a Business License ($200) at the time of Annual List filing.
