If you file your Mississippi LLC annual report late, the Mississippi Secretary of State's office will impose a penalty fee of $25 for each month the report remains unfiled, with penalties capping at $100 total. More critically, your LLC faces administrative dissolution after 60 days of non-compliance, which automatically revokes your business's legal status and right to operate in Mississippi. During dissolution proceedings, you lose liability protection, cannot conduct business legally, and may face additional reinstatement fees exceeding $500. The Mississippi Secretary of State's Business Services Bureau requires immediate remedial action once you realize you've missed the deadline. File your overdue annual report immediately by submitting Form 80.1 with the current filing fee of $0 (Mississippi charges no annual report fee) plus accumulated penalties directly to the Secretary of State's office in Jackson. Contact their filing department at (601) 359-1633 to confirm your account status before submitting to ensure proper credit application.
Mississippi LLCs must file their annual report through the Mississippi Secretary of State using Form LLC-1065. You have two filing options: submit online via the Secretary of State's official portal at sos.ms.gov, which processes filings immediately and provides electronic confirmation, or mail the completed Form LLC-1065 to the Mississippi Secretary of State, 401 Mississippi Street, Jackson, MS 39201. The online method eliminates processing delays and is strongly preferred. The annual report fee is $25, due by April 15th each year. Filing online takes approximately 10 minutes and requires your LLC's EIN and current member information. Failure to file by the deadline results in administrative dissolution, which removes your LLC's good standing status and exposes you to personal liability. Visit sos.ms.gov/business-services/limited-liability-companies to access Form LLC-1065 and the filing portal immediately.
Mississippi does not charge a filing fee for LLC annual reports—this is a significant cost advantage compared to most states. However, the Mississippi Secretary of State's office requires all LLCs to file Form LLC-1065 (Annual Report) by April 15 each year to maintain active status and good standing. Failing to submit this report by the deadline results in administrative dissolution of your LLC, which carries serious consequences: you'll lose liability protection, face potential penalties, and lose the right to conduct business in Mississippi. The zero-fee requirement means your only costs are staff time or a registered agent service fee if applicable. File your 2026 report directly through the Mississippi Secretary of State's online portal at sos.ms.gov to ensure on-time submission and maintain your LLC's legal standing.
All Mississippi LLCs must file their annual reports with the Mississippi Secretary of State by April 15 each year, without exception. This uniform deadline applies regardless of your LLC's formation date or fiscal year—whether you formed your company in January or December, the April 15 deadline remains fixed.
Missing this deadline triggers a $25 late fee assessed by the Secretary of State's office. Beyond the financial penalty, failure to file within 60 days of the April 15 deadline results in administrative dissolution of your LLC, which terminates your legal business status and leaves you personally liable for company debts.
The annual report filing requires completing Form LLC-1, which takes 10–15 minutes to complete online through the Secretary of State's website. You'll need your LLC's name, formation date, and current registered agent information.
To avoid penalties, file your Form LLC-1 by March 31—two weeks before the April 15 deadline. This buffer prevents processing delays from costing you compliance status.
All active Mississippi LLCs must file annual reports with the Mississippi Secretary of State—there are no exemptions based on business size, annual revenue, or activity level. Even LLCs generating minimal income or operating part-time remain obligated to file.
The only legitimate way to avoid annual report filing is formal dissolution. If you've voluntarily dissolved your LLC through the Secretary of State's office, you're no longer required to file. However, simply stopping business operations without filing dissolution paperwork doesn't exempt you from reporting requirements.
Failure to file results in the Secretary of State imposing a $50 late penalty per month, plus potential administrative dissolution after 60 days of non-compliance. This can jeopardize your LLC's legal standing and personal liability protections.
If you're no longer operating your Mississippi LLC, submit a Certificate of Dissolution form to the Secretary of State immediately. If you're still active, file Form 5009 (the annual report) by your LLC's anniversary date to maintain compliance.
