oyster

federal vs state filings

oyster covers both — boi/cta is federal (fincen). annual report and franchise tax are state (sos / dor). the prep sheets pull the right portal automatically based on category + state.

  1. 1

    federal — boi/cta

    one portal for everyone (boiefiling.fincen.gov). state-blind.

  2. 2

    state — annual report, franchise tax, business license

    every state has its own portal. oyster's directory covers all 50.

  3. 3

    what you set

    set your state on the business profile (cypress / settings) once. oyster routes every state-level filing prep sheet to the right portal automatically.

    tip

    if you operate in multiple states (e.g. an llc registered in delaware but operating in arkansas), you may have filings in both — track each separately in oyster. one card per state per filing kind.
