New LLC and Startup Costs

I started a new single member LLC in 2019:  legal doc filing of 2/25/19; startup costs, primarily for website development and procurement of samples, brochures, displays thru the end of March (lots of different dates); and I made my website public on/around 4/1/2019.

 

Are my startup costs determined by the date I filed and received my state & federal documents (2/25/19), or are they all costs incurred up to when my website went public?  I know I can only deduct $5k this year and will amortize the balance over the next 15 years.  

 

Thx for the help.
