The South Carolina catch.
Tax classification decides everything. A default-taxed LLC files nothing recurring; elect corporate treatment and you pick up the CL-1 and an annual Schedule D, an obligation that never existed before, and one the Secretary of State never reminds you about because it is not their filing.
Whose job it is.
Ours to watch: South Carolina asks for no ongoing report, so the agent on record is the one thing to keep current. We keep it current.
