New York LLC Annual Report

What it is

The annual report keeps your LLC’s information current with the New York state — addresses, members/managers, and registered agent. It is filed online or by mail.

When it’s due

New York requires the report on a biennial cycle. Most states use the anniversary month of formation, but some have a fixed due date for all entities. Verify the current due date for your specific LLC on the New York SoS site.

Cost

$9 per biennial filing for New York LLCs.

What information is required

• LLC name and SoS file number
• Principal office address
• Names and addresses of members or managers (state requirements vary)
• Registered agent information
• Brief description of business activity (some states)

Penalties for late or missed filing

New York imposes penalties for late filing — typically a flat late fee plus risk of administrative dissolution if the report remains unfiled past a grace period. Reinstatement after dissolution typically costs much more than the original report fee.

State-specific note

New York requires LLCs to publish notice of formation in two newspapers in the county of the principal office for six consecutive weeks; cost varies dramatically by county (cheap upstate, expensive in NYC).
