File Your Annual ReportKeep Your Business in Good Standing
Forming your LLC or corporation is only the beginning. Most states require registered businesses to submit periodic reports or renewals to keep their information current and maintain active status. The name, deadline, fee, and filing requirements can vary by state.
Our annual report filing service helps simplify this recurring responsibility. We help you understand what information is needed, prepare the required filing, and submit it according to the applicable state requirements. An annual report may ask you to confirm details such as your business address, registered agent, managers, members, directors, or officers.

What Is an Annual Report?
An annual report is a state filing used to confirm or update information about a registered business. Despite the name, not every state requires this filing every year. Some states require it every other year, while others use different names such as Statement of Information, Biennial Report, Periodic Report, or Annual Registration.
The information requested also varies. Your filing may include your company's principal address, mailing address, registered agent, managers, members, directors, or officers. The purpose is generally the same: keeping the state's records about your business current.
For an LLC, this filing is often referred to as an LLC annual report filing. Corporations and other registered entities may have similar reporting obligations

How Annual Report Filing Works
The exact process depends on your state, but the basic steps are straightforward.
STEP 1
Identify Your Filing Deadline
First, determine when your report is due. Some states use a fixed date, while others base the deadline on your company's formation or registration date.
STEP 2
Review Your Business Information
Check the information the state has on file. This may include your business name, address, registered agent, and ownership or management details.
STEP 3
Prepare the Report
Complete the required state form with the requested information
STEP 4
Pay the Required Fee
Many states charge a filing fee, although the amount varies considerably by state and business type.
STEP 5
Submit the Filing
The report is submitted to the appropriate state agency. Many states offer online filing, while some may provide other filing methods.
STEP 6
Keep Your Records
After filing, keep confirmation and related records with your company's important business documents
What Information Is Included in an Annual Report?
The exact information varies by state, but an annual report may ask you to confirm or update:
- Business name
- Principal business address
- Mailing address
- Registered agent
- Registered office
- Directors
- Officers
- Managers
- Members
- Other state-required business information
Some states combine annual reporting with additional requirements, such as franchise tax filings. Always review the requirements that apply to your specific business and state.
If your business information has changed during the year, an annual report may also be an opportunity to update the state's records.
LLC Annual Report Filing vs. Corporate Annual Reports
LLCs and corporations can both have recurring state reporting requirements, but the details are not always the same.
An LLC may need to confirm information about its members, managers, registered agent, and business address. A corporation may need to provide information about directors, officers, registered agents, and other corporate details. Some states require annual filings, while others require reports on a biennial or different schedule. Some states may not require a traditional annual report at all. That is why using the correct filing requirements for your business and state is important.
