Question 1

What is an annual report?

Accepted Answer

An annual report (also called a statement of information, annual statement, or periodic report) is a filing required by most states to keep your business entity in good standing. It confirms or updates your company's basic information — registered agent, principal address, officers/members, and business activity — with the Secretary of State.

Question 2

Does every state require an annual report?

Accepted Answer

No. A handful of states — including Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, and Texas — do not require annual reports for LLCs. However, most states do require them, and some require biennial (every two years) filings instead. FormifyAI tracks the exact requirements for your state so you never have to guess.

Question 3

What happens if I miss my annual report deadline?

Accepted Answer

Missing your annual report deadline can result in late fees, penalties, and eventually administrative dissolution or revocation of your business entity. Once dissolved, you may lose your business name, the ability to enforce contracts, and personal liability protections. Reinstatement often costs significantly more than the original filing.

Question 4

How much does it cost to file an annual report?

Accepted Answer

State filing fees vary widely — from as low as $9 in New York to $500 in Massachusetts. Most states charge between $20 and $150. FormifyAI shows you the exact fee for your state and entity type before you start. Our service fee is included in your subscription at no extra cost.

Question 5

Can FormifyAI file my annual report automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With our Pro ($79/mo) and Business ($149/mo) plans, FormifyAI monitors your deadlines and auto-files your annual report before it's due. You'll receive a confirmation once the filing is accepted. Starter plan members receive deadline reminders and guided filing assistance.

Question 6

When is my annual report due?

Accepted Answer

Deadlines vary by state. Some states tie the due date to your formation date (anniversary filing), while others set a fixed calendar date for all businesses. A few states require biennial filings. Select your state on this page to see the specific deadline and filing requirements.
