Ask About LLCYou ask. We answer, with the fee and the source.
What it means

Annual report: what is it?

A repeating filing that keeps the state's file on your LLC current, normally for a fee. A handful of states ask only every second year, and some never ask.

The short version

Biennial report, statement of information or periodic report

Articles of organization, or maybe Registered agent, or maybe Minimum LLC tax

So what do I do about it?

Put the due date on your calendar the day you form. A late report can add a fee, and skipping it for long enough can cost the LLC its good standing.

Does my state do it differently?

Do states want a report every year? 37 do, 7 want it every two years and 6 never ask.

States with nothing to file: Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio and South Carolina.

Reports come every second year in Alaska, California, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and New York.

Where will I run into it?

You will meet it in these answers: How do I form an LLC where I live?, Registered agent rules: your state's answers, Taking an LLC to another state: your state's answers.
