Every year (or every two years in some states), your state wants to hear from you. Are you still in business? Same address? Same registered agent? Same people in charge? That’s what an annual report is — a required filing that keeps your company information current. Miss it and you’ll pay late fees. Ignore it long enough and the state can dissolve your company.

What an annual report does

An annual report (sometimes called “statement of information” or “annual registration”):
  • Updates your company information on record
  • Confirms your registered agent
  • Lists current officers or managers
  • Maintains your good standing status
Failure to file leads to penalties, late fees, and eventually administrative dissolution. Your company can lose its legal standing — meaning you lose liability protection.
