New Jersey annual report filing for LLCs and corporations

Who has to file the New Jersey annual report?
LLCs
Every New Jersey LLC, and every foreign LLC registered in New Jersey, files an annual report in the anniversary month of its formation or authorization. Missing two in a row moves a domestic LLC to the inactive list.
Corporations
Corporations file the same annual report through the same DORES service. A corporation that falls behind is revoked rather than placed on the inactive list.
The same DORES Annual Reports and Change Services portal also takes registered agent and office changes, reinstatements and amendments, and every filing made through it generates a certificate as proof of filing that can be validated.
When is it due?
Each entity’s report is due by the last day of the month in which it was formed or authorized. The state sends its reminder to the registered agent sixty days ahead, which is one reason it matters that the agent on record actually forwards mail.
Where is it filed?
Reports are filed with the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, online through its Annual Reports and Change Services portal.
What happens if the New Jersey annual report is late?
An LLC that has not filed annual reports for two consecutive years is placed on the inactive list, the New Jersey Revised Uniform LLC Act’s form of administrative dissolution. It may lose the authority to do business in New Jersey, and its Business Registration Certificate may be invalidated. Getting back means filing every missed report with the reinstatement, and an entity inactive or revoked for more than two years also needs a tax clearance certificate.

How does LLCity file the New Jersey annual report?
We file it for you, entity by entity, and keep the next date on your schedule. State fees are confirmed with you before anything is filed.
We list every New Jersey entity you hold by anniversary month, so each report is dated from its own formation rather than from a calendar year.
We confirm the principal address and the officers, members or managers with you before the month opens.
We file each report through the DORES portal before the last day of its month and send you the filing certificate DORES generates.
Where an entity has missed a year, we file the back report before the second year lapses, which is the line between a late report and the inactive list.
Several New Jersey entities?
New Jersey spreads its reports across the year, one month per entity. With a dozen entities that can mean a filing in almost every month. DORES also warns businesses about private companies soliciting annual report fees by mail; we file the real report and tell you which letters you can ignore.
What else recurs in New Jersey?
Every recurring New Jersey filing on our compliance calendar, labelled by the entity it belongs to. Fees are set by the state and confirmed with you before anything is filed.
