Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find the due date for my annual report or franchise tax?

In most states, annual reports must be filed either on a specific date each year or on the anniversary of your company’s formation. To find out your filing date, you’ll need to know your state’s requirements.

Here are two ways to confirm your deadline:
– Refer to the table above for deadlines based on your state and business type.
– Search for your business information in the Secretary of State’s online registry.

What happens if I don’t submit the annual report on time?

Missing the deadline to file your annual report can result in the following:
– Temporary suspension of your business,
– Possible dissolution of your company, and
– Additional fines imposed by the state.

Can I request an extension if I missed the annual report deadline?

It depends on the state.
Some states may allow an extension for filing your annual report, while others do not. For clarification, feel free to contact us—we can assist in determining your options. Alternatively, check with your business registration authority, typically the Secretary of State.

Note: If extensions are available, keep in mind there may be specific criteria and deadlines to meet. Some states may require proof of extraordinary circumstances. Seeking legal advice or expert assistance can help ensure compliance with these rules.
