Well - lets see - if you are a LLC or Partnership in Delaware the franchise tax is $200 + a $25 filing fee every year.
If you are a corporation - it depends on which of two methods you use for filing - either the Authorized Shares method which if it is just you and one other person (assuming you have the minimum shares set at 3000 like a normal S Corp would) the franchise tax is $35
If you use the Par value method and assume you issue 1 mill public shares at $1 value your annual franchise tax would be $500 (although I kinda doubt youre company would have over $1 mill in assets of public stock)
In the state I live in the franchise tax is $25 per year.
As far as glamourizing having a company - I would have paid an extra $45000 in taxes this year if I had filed as personal tax vice filing as a company. Sure seems like a little extra glamour to me
