FilingOak · LLC Formation by State
Rhode Island LLC Formation Service
Rhode Island's statutory formation filing is $150, while FilingOak's state-side amount is $156. The standard FilingOak order is $651.
The LLC annual report costs $50 and is filed during a February 1 through May 1 window. Separately, Rhode Island requires an LLC to file with the Division of Taxation and pay an annual tax or fee that is currently at least $400, with the tax form and due date depending on the LLC's federal tax classification.

The annual report and Rhode Island tax are different obligations
The Department of State annual report costs $50. Rhode Island also requires LLCs to file an annual return with the Division of Taxation and pay an annual tax or fee. The state's 2026 LLC notice puts the annual minimum at $400; the form and deadline depend on federal tax classification. The Division says the charge also applies in the year the LLC is formed and is not reduced simply because the LLC existed for only part of that year.
The report uses a filing window
The Department of State annual-report filing period runs from February 1 through May 1. The current report fee is $50, and a $25 late penalty is applied beginning June 1. That filing is separate from the Division of Taxation's annual tax or fee.
Rhode Island formation begins both a report and tax calendar
Rhode Island's LLC filing requires the registered-agent and company information applicable to the Articles. FilingOak prepares the administrative filing from the founder's real facts and keeps the $156 state-side amount distinct from the $150 statutory base.
The public report and the $400 annual tax are separate obligations
The registered agent and other formation/annual-report information become part of the state record. Public Record Address Privacy applies only to legitimate eligible fields and does not erase required people or guarantee third-party address acceptance.

DIY saves the $495 service fee, not Rhode Island's $400 annual tax
Rhode Island's filing is available directly. If you already have the registered agent covered and are comfortable with the annual-report window, DIY can be a reasonable choice.
FilingOak is the administrative alternative when the broader formation package is worth more to you than handling those pieces yourself.
