Annual Report List by State for LLCs and Corporations

Many state governments require LLCs, Corporations, and other registered business entities to file annual reports each year. And some Secretary of State (or comparable agency) offices may require these types of reports to be filed according to different timeframes (e.g., biennial and decennial reports).

Figuring out the reports they must file and the deadlines they must meet can become frustrating for busy small business owners. Ferreting out states’ specific requirements can prove a daunting task—especially with so many other tasks to juggle when starting and growing a company. Who has time to stay on top of everything?!

To make it easier, we’ve compiled and shared below a list of annual report filings (state by state) for your convenience. Within it, we’ve provided links to each state agency’s website so that you can readily go there for more information and see if there have been any updates to their requirements.

Key Things to Know About Annual Reports

As you review the information on our list, keep the following things in mind:

• Currently, all states, except Ohio, require some sort of annual report filing.
• Specific filing requirements and deadlines vary by state.
• Some states also require an initial report when first starting a business.
• When businesses fail to file on time, they might get hit with fines or other penalties.
• In worst-case scenarios, companies risk losing their status of good standing with the state. That could result in the business owners losing their personal liability protection and other benefits of being a registered business entity.
• State requirements sometimes change depending on economic factors.
