Annual Report Filing Requirements by State


Small Business Taxes & Management--Copyright 2013, A/N Group, Inc.

 

We've developed a list of state annual report filing requirements. Please keep in mind that these requirements change from time to time, and, while every effort has been made to insure accuracy, you should always check the current rules at the state site at issue. In addition, annual report filing requirements for corporations are in force for most states. A number of states have similar requirements for LLCs and partnerships. Those are not specifically addressed here. If your state has a annual report filing requirement you should check for a similar requirement for other entities. Go to our State Sites page for links to the Secretary of State's Website for your state. The penalties for failure to file vary widely, but you could find your corporation without legal standing.

Caution. See Notes at end of table.
