How annual reports and state compliance reminders work
open_in_newOpen State Compliance in Genayaarrow_outwardGenaya tracks the next annual report due date for every LLC or corporation where the state publishes one, calculated per state and entity type from its formation date, and sends reminders 45 days and 7 days before it is due.
Filing itself costs $199 plus the state fee. Where the state supports it, File annual report is a one-click action from that company's State Compliance tab, for either an LLC or a corporation.
warningA couple of states compute the report fee from revenue or assets - Tennessee and Wyoming. Genaya still tracks the due date and reminds you at 45 and 7 days, but you file it directly with the state.
infoSome states have no LLC annual report at all, so Genaya sends no reminder for them - Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, and South Carolina. Alabama LLCs instead owe a yearly Business Privilege Tax return, due April 15, filed directly with the state.
Where a corporation's rule differs from an LLC's
The annual or periodic report requirement is set per entity type, not just per state - a handful of states require one from a corporation but not from an LLC in that same state, or the other way around.
- Arizona requires no annual report from an LLC, but a corporation files one on the anniversary of incorporation.
- Missouri requires no annual report from an LLC, but a corporation files an annual registration report by the end of its incorporation month.
- New Mexico requires no annual report from an LLC, but a corporation files a biennial corporate report.
- Oklahoma requires an annual report from an LLC, but not from a corporation.
- Ohio, Alabama, and South Carolina require no periodic report from either an LLC or a corporation.
lightbulbYou never have to memorize this. Open any company's State Compliance tab and Genaya shows the exact rule and due date for its state and entity type.
