What is an annual report?

Annual reports are documents that are filed with the state and provide updated information about your business, including the name and address of the business, the people who run it, and its registered agent.

Most companies submit annual reports to their state to operate there legally. For public companies, annual reports also provide data on business operations for investors and outside analysts.

Who needs to file an annual report?

Depending on your state, business entities typically need to file reports on a regular basis. Some of the common entity types that may need to file reports include:

  • LLCs
  • Corporations
  • Nonprofits​

The majority of states require small businesses to file some form of report to comply with state regulations and to maintain their good standing.

To help you find out whether your state requires an annual report for your type of business entity, we’ve included a comprehensive chart on this page for your reference.

What’s the purpose of an annual report for an LLC?

The goal of an annual report is to provide your state and the general public with the most current contact information for your LLC. Nearly all states require LLCs to file these reports. Failure to do so could result in your business losing its good standing with the state, which can result in penalties and loss of liability protection, among other things.

Annual reports list an LLC’s basic information, including the name of its owners, its address, and the registered agent’s contact information.

Why do LLCs and other small businesses need to file an annual report?

The majority of states require small businesses and LLCs to file some form of report so the state knows who is doing business within its borders, and it gives the public a way to hold businesses accountable. Filing a report helps ensure your business complies with state regulations and maintains good standing.

Depending on the state in which the LLC is formed and operated, the yearly report may be called an “annual report,” a “statement of information,” an “annual statement,” or something similar.

How do I get an EIN number?

To secure your own EIN, you’ll need to navigate the IRS rules and process, meet the requirements to apply directly, and manage the approval period.
You’ll need to fill out an application, also known as an SS-4 form, and you must be a “responsible party.” The IRS defines a responsible party as the owner or individual who exercises effective control over the entity.
