What is an Annual Report?
- The form updates or confirms the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations’ records.
- It is not a financial statement.
- An annual report must be filed each year for your business entity to maintain an “active status” with the Department of State.
- it is required, whether or not you need to make changes.
- The data displayed on the entity’s annual report is the most current data on file with the Division of Corporations.
What Happens if I pay after May 1?
- A $400 late fee will be imposed on all profit corporations, limited liability companies, limited partnerships and limited liability limited partnerships.
- Non-profit corporations are not subject to the $400 late fee.
What happens if I don't file the annual report?
- If you do not file an annual report by the third Friday of September, your business entity will be administratively dissolved or revoked.
Administratively dissolved or revoked entities may be reinstated, but it requires submitting a reinstatement application and paying all associated fees (the reinstatement fee + annual report fees due) at the time of submission.
If my business has closed, do I still need to file the annual report?
No. You do not need to file the annual report if the business has closed.
Can I make changes when I file my annual report?
Yes, the annual report allows you to:
- Add, delete, or change the names and/or addresses of the officers, directors, managers, authorized members; and make changes to addresses only for any general partners.
- Change the registered agent and registered office address.
- Change the principal office address and mailing address for the business entity.
- Add or change the federal employer identification number.
NOTE: The annual report does not permit you to change the name of your business.
