First full portal-verification pass complete; trust pages refreshed
All 15 state pages have been verified against their official Secretary of State and tax authority portals. Trust pages (Privacy, Terms, Disclaimer, Methodology) updated to reflect the live site's actual data practices.
Two pieces of editorial work landed together.
Portal verification. Every state page now carries a confirmed match
against its official source — the Secretary of State (or its state-specific
equivalent) and, where applicable, the Department of Revenue or Comptroller.
Material corrections (statutory citations added in California, Illinois,
North Carolina; portal URL refreshes in Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Nevada;
fee-history cleanup in Colorado and New Jersey) are recorded in each state
page’s lastReviewed timestamp.
Trust pages refreshed. Privacy, Terms, and Disclaimer now accurately
describe StayOnFile’s processors (Cloudflare, Google AdSense, Resend) and
the relevant opt-out mechanisms. Methodology now describes our actual
sourcing and review process in plain language. Final-draft markers from
pre-launch are gone.
The LLC deadline checker is now available, computing next annual report and franchise tax dates from per-state JSON data.
The deadline checker computes your next
annual report and franchise tax due dates from your state and (where the state
uses an anniversary-based deadline) your formation date. It runs entirely in
your browser — nothing you type is sent to us — and produces a downloadable
calendar (.ics) file you can drop into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or
Outlook.
The tool reads the same state data shown on each state page, so anything we
correct on a state page flows automatically into the next deadline computation
that uses that state.
First public release. Initial state coverage and deadline checker live.
This is the launch entry for StayOnFile. The site goes live with an initial set
of LLC state pages, a deadline checker, the trust stack, and the changelog you
are reading.
The launch coverage is intentionally narrow. We’d rather start with a small
number of carefully verified state pages than a long list of mediocre ones, and
add states one at a time as we can verify their data against the official
source.
If you find an error on any page, email
info@stayonfile.com — we treat correction reports
as a higher priority than new content.
First versions of the Methodology and Editorial Policy pages went live, documenting how state data is sourced, reviewed, and corrected.
The Methodology page documents how state data is sourced and
refreshed, including the quarterly review cycle and our error-reporting
process. The Editorial Policy discloses how content is
drafted with LLM assistance and verified by a human editor before publication.
Both pages exist to make how we work visible. They are part of how we want
readers (and search engines) to assess whether the rest of the site is
trustworthy.
