Annual Statements

• Corporations and limited liability companies are required to file an annual report with the Secretary of State. An entity is required to report the name and street address of its current registered agent, the current address of its principal office, and the name and address of the individual completing the report. An annual report can be filed online starting at the beginning of the second month prior to the month of organization of the entity. For example, a corporation formed in August may file their annual report online as early as June.

• The processing fee for all paper-filed annual business reports is $25.00. The processing fee for all delinquent reports is $45.00. If you file your annual business report on paper and it is rejected, it is $25.00. If you correct your annual business report and again submit it for filing on paper, it is another $25.00. It is $25.00 every time the Secretary of State processes a paper-filed annual report, $45.00 every time they process a paper-filed delinquent report.

• Annual reports can be filed online for a reduced processing fee ($10 for an annual report and $30 for a delinquent report). Reports filed online are "real time" so any delays and extra expense caused by mailing and/or processing can be avoided. In addition, reports filed online cannot be rejected because the online system will not allow a report to be submitted with missing information.

• Finally, the Secretary of State has created an e-mail notification system for annual reports and other business filings. A business may register for notification on the Business Center website. An e-mail will be sent to notify a business of when an annual report is due and when any document is filed affecting that business.
