What is an LLC annual report?

A short filing with the state confirming that your LLC still exists and that its address, registered agent and members are current. Most states charge a fee alongside it: Wyoming charges $60, Delaware charges a $300 franchise tax, and Texas requires a public information report instead.

What happens if I miss the annual report deadline?

The state first marks the LLC delinquent and adds a late fee, then moves it out of good standing, and after a period dissolves it administratively. A dissolved LLC loses its liability shield, and banks close accounts held by a dissolved entity.

Do I still file if my LLC had no income?

Yes. The annual report is a state existence filing, not an income filing. A dormant LLC with zero revenue still owes its annual report, its registered agent fee and its federal information returns.

Is the annual report the same as a tax return?

No. The annual report goes to the state and reports company details. The tax return goes to the IRS and reports income. A foreign-owned single-member LLC owes both, plus Form 5472.
