MakeLLCAnnual Reports: Requirements & Deadlines
Most states require LLCs to file periodic reports to keep their information up-to-date. Missing deadlines can result in fines or dissolution.
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.
State-Specific Requirements
Annual report requirements vary significantly by state:
| State | Filing Frequency | Due Date |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming | Annually | Month of formation |
| Delaware | Annually | June 1st |

| Texas | No Requirement | N/A |
