What is an Annual Report?

An annual report (sometimes called a statement of information or periodic report) is a filing that updates your LLC's current information with the state. Despite the name, some states only require this report every two years (biennially).

The report typically confirms:

  • Your LLC's legal name and address
  • The name and address of your Registered Agent
  • The names of your members or managers
  • Your principal place of business

An annual report is different from a tax return. It's an administrative document to keep state records current, not a financial one.

Note

Annual reports are about compliance, not finances. You're not reporting income or profits, but confirming your business still exists and its information is accurate.
