Side by side

Know before you choose

  • The Secretary of State says paper filings are no longer accepted and all business filings go through the online portal; an older SOS page still says corporation forms go by mail or in person.
  • The LLC and corporation filing fees are from statute text on Justia, not from an official fee page; the official portal shows the fee at the time of filing.
  • The portal notice about filings being processed through 08/24/2026 may be out of date or indicate a backlog; confirm before relying on any timing.
  • Corporate franchise tax and corporate income tax facts come from Taxation and Revenue pages dated 2020 to 2021.
  • New Mexico taxes gross receipts of businesses, including those without a physical presence above $100,000 of taxable receipts.
