Annual Compliance

Formation is day one. Compliance is every year after.

Annual reports, registered agent renewals, and federal filings all have real deadlines — and real penalties. LLCDeck tracks them and reminds you before they become late fees or lost good standing.

The obligations

Three things every LLC owner must keep up with.

State annual report

Most states require a yearly (or biennial) report with a fee. Miss it and late fees stack up before good standing is revoked.

Registered agent renewal

Your agent must be maintained continuously. A lapsed agent means missed legal notices — and states notice.

Federal filings

Foreign-owned single-member LLCs generally must file IRS Form 5472 with a pro-forma 1120 each year — the penalty for missing it starts at $25,000. We remind you; a tax professional files it.

By state

Annual requirements in the five states we support.

Annual compliance requirements by state
State	Annual requirement	Due date
Wyoming	$60 (minimum)	First day of anniversary month
New Mexico	$0 — none required	—
Delaware	$300 flat franchise tax	June 1 each year
Texas	$0 tax for most small LLCs; information report still required	May 15 each year
Florida	$138.75 annual report ($400 late fee)	May 1 each year

Requirements set by each state and subject to change. Registered agent renewal ($99/yr through LLCDeck) applies in every state.

How it works

Your compliance calendar — every deadline for your state and entity, visible in your deck from day one.
Reminders that escalate — email and WhatsApp nudges at 60, 30, and 7 days before each due date.
Done-for-you filing — on the Annual Compliance Service, we prepare and submit your state report (state fee at cost).
Good-standing tracking — we confirm your status after each filing so you always know where you stand.

Compliance FAQ

Compliance questions, answered.

What happens if I miss my annual report?

Late fees first (Florida's is $400), then loss of good standing, and eventually administrative dissolution — the state shuts your LLC down. Reinstatement is possible but costs more than staying compliant ever would.

My state has no annual report. Am I done?

Not quite. New Mexico LLCs skip the state report, but you still need to maintain your registered agent every year — and federal obligations (like IRS Form 5472 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs) exist regardless of state. We flag these; your tax professional files them.

Does LLCDeck file my taxes?

No. We track and file state compliance items (annual reports, registered agent renewals) and remind you of federal deadlines. Tax preparation and advice belong with a licensed tax professional — we'll tell you when it's time to get one.

What does the Annual Compliance Service include?

For $149/yr: we track your state's deadlines, prepare and file your annual report (state fee billed separately at cost), keep your registered agent renewal on schedule, and keep your deck's good-standing status current.

Keep your LLC in good standing — without thinking about it.
