What Mississippi asks of a business
Mississippi has a flat 4.4% personal income tax, corporate income tax from 4% to 5% and a 7% state sales tax (about 7.06% combined with local rates). An LLC in the state faces a no-fee annual report, due Annual, April 15. The table below is what we check first on every Mississippi engagement.
| Mississippi at a glance | What applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal income tax | A flat 4.4% personal income tax | Flat rate on taxable income (2025 table) |
| Corporate income tax | Corporate income tax from 4% to 5% | Graduated corporate brackets (2026 table) |
| Sales tax | A 7% state sales tax (about 7.06% combined with local rates) | Combined figure is the population-weighted average with local rates (2026 table) |
| LLC fees | Formation $50; A no-fee annual report, due Annual, April 15 | $0 (must file an information report, no fee though) |
| Corporation fees | Annual report | Corporations file an annual report with the state; fee and date confirmed at engagement |
| S-corp election | Federal election recognised | Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement |
Figures checked 2026-09 against Mississippi Department of Revenue and Mississippi Secretary of State. Rates and fees change; we confirm the current numbers for your entity before we quote.

Things Mississippi owners get wrong
The federal return is only half the job. Mississippi's a flat 4.4% personal income tax reaches pass-through owners through their personal return, and the entity itself faces a no-fee annual report, due Annual, April 15. Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement.
Nobody sets out to miss these. They are missed because a seasonal preparer handles the federal return in April and nobody owns the state calendar for the rest of the year. We keep the calendar.

Pricing in Mississippi
Business returns from $99, quoted by entity and complexity before any work starts. Mississippi state or entity filings are quoted with the federal return, so there is one number, not a list of add-ons. Late years are priced per year. Catch-up bookkeeping, where needed, is a fixed project quoted after a free review.
We do not write "guaranteed", "maximum refund" or "IRS-approved" anywhere, because no honest preparer can. We prepare returns correctly and keep the confirmations.
Mississippi questions people ask first
Do I need to file a Mississippi state return for my LLC?
Usually yes. Mississippi has a flat 4.4% personal income tax, so LLC and S-corp income flows to the owner's Mississippi return, and the entity may have its own filing. We prepare both with the federal return.
When is my Mississippi business return due?
Federal 1120-S and 1065 returns are due March 16, 2026 (September 15 on extension); 1120 and Schedule C returns April 15 (October 15 on extension). Mississippi entity filings run on their own calendar: a no-fee annual report, due Annual, April 15. We track both.
I own a Mississippi LLC but live outside the US. What do I file?
A foreign-owned single-member LLC files Form 5472 attached to a pro forma Form 1120, which cannot be e-filed and carries a $25,000 penalty if missed. We prepare it, fax-file it and keep the transmission report. Multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 with K-1s.
Does Mississippi recognise my federal S-corp election?
Yes. Federal S election recognised; a pass-through entity (PTE) tax election may be available, confirmed at engagement
What if I am behind by a year or more?
We prepare each open year, rebuild the books if needed, and include a written reasonable-cause request for penalty relief where one applies. Penalty relief is the IRS's decision; we prepare the request and do not promise the outcome.
Who prepares and signs my return?
A team of Certified Accountants, CPAs and Enrolled Agents working from New York and Mumbai. A US-credentialed preparer reviews and signs. Replies within 8 hours, one point of contact.
