Annual Reports

Once you have formed your business, you have an obligation to keep it current and compliant. While this process varies by state and by entity type, it is in your best interest to understand the process for your entity type and state.

These types of business filings are due by specific deadlines, which also vary by state and corporate structure. Examples include Initial Reports, Annual Reports, Amendments, Foreign Qualifications, Reinstatements and Dissolutions.

Failing to keep your entity compliant with these rules can lead to state imposed late fees and penalties, plus your LLC or Corporation could be suspended or even dissolved. Some of these documents, like Initial Reports, may be due in your state upon the filing of your entity.

Q: What is an Annual Report?

A: Most states require a yearly update of your vital business information. This is called an Annual Report, or sometimes, a Statement of Information.

The Annual Report is very similar to the Initial Report filed when your business is started, but is an ongoing requirement of the state and must be filed each year. This is a requirement whether you are currently conducting business or not and if not filed on time this could result in penalties and fees being imposed by the state.
