Filing your New Hampshire LLC annual report after the April 1 deadline triggers automatic late penalties assessed by the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Division of Corporations. For 2026, failure to file by April 1 results in a $25 late fee plus potential reinstatement costs if your LLC status lapses into administrative dissolution. If your LLC becomes administratively dissolved, you'll need to file a Reinstatement of LLC form and pay an additional reinstatement fee to restore your legal standing and business privileges. This dissolution affects your ability to conduct business, enforce contracts, and maintain liability protection. Contact the New Hampshire Secretary of State at (603) 271-3244 or visit sos.nh.gov immediately if you've missed the deadline. Submit your annual report and late fee payment without delay to avoid dissolution proceedings and preserve your LLC's active status.
You can file your New Hampshire LLC annual report exclusively online through the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Business Services portal or by mail with the Division of Corporations. Online filing through the Secretary of State's website is required as of 2024, though paper filings are still accepted. The annual report form (Form LLC-1) must include your LLC's name, resident agent information, and principal place of business. Filing fees are $100 for domestic LLCs, due by April 1st each year. Online filing typically processes within 24 hours and provides immediate email confirmation, whereas mail submissions take 5–7 business days. Failure to file by the deadline results in administrative dissolution and loss of your LLC's legal status, which jeopardizes your liability protection. Visit sos.nh.gov/business-services and select "File/Renew Business Entity" to begin your filing immediately.
The filing fee for a New Hampshire LLC annual report is $100, payable to the New Hampshire Secretary of State when submitting your report. This fee applies to all domestic LLCs and must be included with your filing to the Department of State, Division of Corporations.
The $100 annual fee is separate from your state's Business Profits Tax or Business Enterprise Tax obligations, which may apply depending on your LLC's income level. New Hampshire requires all LLCs to file their annual report by the anniversary date of their original formation—missing this deadline triggers a $25 monthly penalty until compliance.
You'll submit Form NHLP-2024 (or the current year's version) along with your payment either online through the Secretary of State's portal or by mail. Filing online typically processes faster and provides immediate confirmation.
To stay compliant, set a calendar reminder for your LLC's formation anniversary date and gather your required business information at least two weeks before the deadline. Visit the New Hampshire Secretary of State website to file online or request the paper form with instructions.
New Hampshire LLC annual reports must be filed by April 1 each year with the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Division of Corporations. This April 1 deadline applies uniformly to all LLCs registered in New Hampshire, regardless of their formation date during the year.
The filing fee is $100, payable to the State of New Hampshire. You'll submit Form LLC-1 (Annual Report for Limited Liability Companies) either online through the Secretary of State's e-filing portal or by mail to 25 Capitol Street, Room 204, Concord, NH 03301.
Missing the April 1 deadline triggers a $25 late filing penalty per month, and your LLC's good standing status becomes jeopardized, potentially affecting your ability to conduct business legally. If you miss the deadline, the Secretary of State may administratively dissolve your LLC for non-compliance.
To ensure timely compliance, file your Form LLC-1 and payment at least two weeks before April 1 to account for processing delays.
Generally, all active LLCs in New Hampshire must file annual reports with the Secretary of State—there are no standard exemptions based on LLC size, revenue, or member count. However, LLCs that have been formally dissolved, administratively dissolved, or merged into another entity are not required to file. If your LLC is administratively dissolved due to failure to file previous reports or pay fees, you must first reinstate it with the New Hampshire Secretary of State before you can resume operations or file future reports. The reinstatement process requires filing a Reinstatement of Articles of Organization form and paying applicable penalties alongside current filing fees. For LLCs in uncertain status, contact the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Corporate Division at (603) 271-3244 or check your LLC's status online through their Business Organization Search tool before assuming you're exempt from filing obligations.
