What happens if I miss my LLC annual report deadline?

Most states send a delinquency notice and give you a grace period (typically 30 to 90 days) to file late with a penalty. If you still don't file, the state administratively dissolves or revokes your LLC. Dissolution means your LLC is no longer in good standing, which can void contracts, trigger personal liability, and require reinstatement. Which costs more than just filing on time.

Do all states require an LLC annual report?

No. Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, and South Carolina do not require an LLC annual report, verified against each state's own code. Delaware requires no annual report either, but levies an entity-level tax with its own due date, which is why "no report" and "nothing due" are not the same thing. Every state's position is verified against its own code or its filing agency, so where this tool declines to name a date it is because the state's own trigger cannot be worked out from a formation date, never because we have not looked. Note that Pennsylvania is no longer exempt: PA LLCs now file an annual report before October 1.

What is an anniversary-based annual report deadline?

Some states tie your annual report due date to your LLC's formation date rather than a calendar year. States differ in exactly how: some want it by the last day of your formation month, some by the first day, some on the anniversary itself, and one uses the end of the quarter your anniversary falls in. Pick your state above and enter your formation date to get the exact day rather than the pattern.

What's the difference between an annual report and a biennial report?

An annual report is due every year. A biennial report is due every two years. Alaska, California, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and New York use biennial schedules for LLCs. You file (and pay the fee) once every two years instead of annually. Which years you file in is not the same everywhere: Alaska keys the cycle to whether you formed in an even or odd year, while Iowa and Nebraska put every LLC in the state on the same odd-year cycle whenever it formed.

Can my LLC be reinstated after dissolution?

Yes, in most states, but it costs more and takes longer than simply filing on time. Reinstatement typically requires filing a reinstatement application, paying all past-due annual report fees, and paying a reinstatement penalty. Some states require you to file all missed annual reports individually. A few states do not allow reinstatement after a certain period, requiring you to form a new LLC entirely.

How do I find out when my LLC was formed (for anniversary-based states)?

Check your original Articles of Organization filing confirmation from your state's Secretary of State. You can also search your state's business entity database by LLC name. Most states show the formation date publicly online.

What happens if you miss your annual report deadline?

An annual report isn't a financial statement. It's a brief filing that tells your state your LLC is still active and confirms your registered agent address. Most states charge a small fee; a few charge nothing. What makes it critical is the consequence of missing the deadline: states routinely dissolve or administratively revoke LLCs that don't file. A dissolved LLC loses its liability protection, and reinstating it typically costs more than the original filing.

Late fees typically range from $25 to $100 depending on the state
States can administratively dissolve your LLC 30 to 90 days after a missed deadline
A dissolved LLC no longer provides liability protection. You become personally exposed
Reinstatement requires paying back fees, penalties, and sometimes a reinstatement fee on top

How annual report deadlines work

📅 Fixed-date states

Many states use the same deadline every year regardless of when you formed. The date in the table below is the one the statute actually sets, which is not always the one the agency advertises.

🔄 Anniversary-based states

Other states tie the deadline to your formation date. They do not all mean the same thing by it, so the calculator computes your exact day rather than naming a month.

📆 Biennial states

Alaska, California, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and New York require reports every two years. Which years depends on the state, and for some of them on the year you formed.

✅ No annual report

Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, and South Carolina require no LLC annual report at all. Delaware requires no report but does levy an annual tax.
