LLC annual report fees, every state

A handful, and the list is smaller than the internet suggests. The table below marks each one, and each state's page explains what it wants instead, because a state with no report usually still wants something: a franchise tax return, a business privilege tax, or a licence renewal.

First a late fee, then loss of good standing, then administrative dissolution, which means the state stops recognising your company. Losing good standing is the part that bites in practice: banks, landlords and payment processors check it, and getting reinstated is a separate filing with its own fee and its own wait. The report is almost always cheaper than the consequence.

No, and the two get confused constantly. The report tells the state who runs the company and where to reach it, and its fee is usually flat. A franchise tax is a separate charge, sometimes calculated on revenue or capital, and it goes to a different agency. Some states want both. We file reports; we do not prepare tax returns.

Yes. The report is about the company existing, not about what it earned. A dormant LLC owes the same report as a busy one for as long as it stays registered, which is why dissolving a company you have finished with is worth doing properly rather than just walking away.

Yes. We file reports for companies formed anywhere, by anyone. We need the company name, the state, and its file number if you have it.
