What is an Annual Report Filing?

An annual report filing is a process of updating your company records with state authorities on a yearly or biennial basis. Business entities such as corporations, LLCs, and partnerships must submit an annual report in every state that they are registered to do business. Failing to file annual reports with the secretary of state’s business division may lead to late fees and penalties, the loss of ‘good standing’ and active status, and consequent administrative dissolution of your entity and business name. Depending on the type of entity and state of formation, incorporation, or qualification—you may have to pay an annual report filing fee with different deadlines to submit your paperwork, online or by mail. An annual report filing, like incorporation, is a legal procedure done best with the help of business formation attorneys. Let the professionals at Spiegel & Utrera, P.A. perform your annual report filings in every state required accurately and on time.

Annual Report Filing Requirements

Requirements for business annual report filings vary per state and entity but may include:

  • Filing in every state that you formed, incorporated or qualified your business entity.
  • Updating basic business information such as the name, principal office address, registered agent info, and details regarding all directors, officers, managers, or members.
  • Providing financial information.
  • Restatement of the company’s mission, values, or objectives.
  • Annual report filing fee.
  • State-specific filing requirements and deadlines.

 

Importance of Annual Reports

Annual report filings are necessary to maintain good standing with the state and prevent corporate dissolution but may also be essential in several business matters:

  • Employees may look into your annual reports to forecast the security of employment by your business.
