How to File
1
Gather Required Information
Collect your LLC's information including entity ID number, current registered agent details, principal business address, and member or manager information. Confirm the month your formation was completed, because the report is due on the last day of that month every year rather than on a fixed statewide date.
2
Access the New Jersey Business Portal
Visit the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services at nj.gov/treasury/revenue, open the annual report service at njportal.com, and log into your business account or create one if needed.
3
Complete the Annual Report Form
Fill out the annual report with updated business information, verify all details are accurate, and review any changes from the previous year, including your registered agent and principal address.
4
Pay the $75 Filing Fee
Submit the $75 annual report fee using a credit card, debit card, or electronic check through the online portal's secure payment system. The fee is $75 regardless of how you file.
5
Submit and Confirm Filing
Review your completed form, submit the annual report, and save your confirmation receipt. New Jersey publishes no standard processing time for non-expedited filings, so keep proof of submission rather than relying on a posting date.

This guide is general information, not legal or tax advice, and reading it does not create an attorney-client relationship. It reports what each state publishes about filing deadlines, fees, and the consequences of missing them, with the sources this page cites. It cannot tell you what your own company owes: the date turns on when and where you formed, states change these rules between our reviews, and in several states an entity-level tax falls due in a year when no report does. Confirm your own dates with the filing office named on this page before you rely on one here, because the penalty for missing a deadline can be administrative dissolution of the company.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your New Jersey LLC annual report is due every year on the last day of the month in which your business formation was completed. If your Certificate of Formation was filed in March, the report is due by March 31 each year. It is an anniversary-month deadline, not a common statewide date such as December 31.
New Jersey does not publish a dollar late penalty for a late annual report, so there is no monthly late fee to calculate. The consequence is administrative: Business.NJ.gov states that failure to file can result in the revocation of your business. The State does not publish a fixed number of missed years before that happens, so treat any missed report as urgent rather than assuming a grace period.
Revocation costs you good standing, which makes you ineligible for contracts and licenses that require a current standing certificate. Set a calendar reminder for your formation month now and file early through the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, since New Jersey publishes no standard processing time.
New Jersey does not publish a flat dollar late penalty for a late LLC annual report, so filing late does not add a stated late fee to the $75. What it costs you is your standing. Business.NJ.gov states that failure to file can result in the revocation of your business, and the State does not publish a specific number of missed years before revocation, so there is no published grace period to rely on. Revocation ends your authority to operate in New Jersey and your good standing, which affects contracts, financing, and licensing. New Jersey also does not publish a fixed reinstatement fee schedule for LLCs, so confirm the current cost with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services rather than budgeting a figure you found elsewhere. The report is due on the last day of your formation anniversary month. If yours has passed, file it immediately through the Division's online annual report service instead of waiting for the next cycle.
The filing fee for a New Jersey LLC annual report is $75, payable each year to the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. You submit payment online through the Division's annual report service using a credit card, debit card, or electronic check. The fee is $75 whichever way you file.
This $75 is separate from any state tax your business owes. One New Jersey charge catches multi-member LLCs by surprise: an LLC with more than two owners and New Jersey source income or loss owes the Partnership Filing Fee of $150 per owner, capped at $250,000, computed on Form NJ-1065, and it must also prepay one half of the current year's fee toward the following year. A single-member or two-member LLC owes nothing there.
New Jersey publishes no dollar late penalty for the annual report, so there is no per-month charge to add. The risk of not filing is revocation of the business rather than an escalating fee.
Next step: log into the Division's annual report service ahead of the last day of your formation anniversary month and file so the $75 clears on time.
Yes, New Jersey LLCs file the annual report online through the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services' annual report service at njportal.com, which is the fastest and most reliable method. The Division operates the portal, so you can submit electronically without visiting an office or mailing documents. You'll need your LLC's New Jersey identification number and login credentials. Online filing gives you immediate confirmation and a receipt, eliminating any uncertainty about whether your filing arrived, which matters because New Jersey publishes no standard processing time for non-expedited filings. The filing fee is $75 regardless of submission method. Filing on time matters because New Jersey publishes no dollar late penalty but does warn that failure to file can result in revocation of your business. To get started, visit njportal.com, select the annual report service for a limited liability company, and follow the instructions with your business information and member details to hand.
No. Every New Jersey LLC must file an annual report with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, and there is no exemption for professional service LLCs, small LLCs, or LLCs with no activity. A registered foreign LLC files the same $75 annual report on the last day of its registration anniversary month.
The only entities that stop filing are those that have formally ended: an LLC that has dissolved, been revoked, or merged into another entity. If your LLC has ceased operations and you want to stop the annual obligation, you file a certificate of cancellation, which formally terminates the entity rather than pausing it.
The report is due on the last day of the month in which your formation was completed, and the fee is $75. New Jersey publishes no dollar late penalty, but failure to file can result in revocation of your business.
If you are unsure of your entity's status or anniversary month, check your record through the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services at nj.gov/treasury/revenue before assuming you are exempt.
