It depends.  If you still have a legal LLC entity then the LLC fee is a valid business expense.  The IRS may challenge the viability of your LLC being a business if it does not have profit 3 out of 5 years and disallow the fees.  If you have a business purpose to keeping the LLC open and paying the fees to keep it open then they are valid business expenses and deductible.
