US LLC State Annual
Report Filing
Avoid late fees, protect your bank accounts, and keep your company active. We handle the mandatory yearly filings for your Wyoming or Delaware LLC.
What is the State Annual Report?
Every state requires LLCs to file a report each year to update their records. This confirms your principal address, member details, and Registered Agent information. It is accompanied by an annual state franchise fee.
Filing this report guarantees your company receives a "Certificate of Good Standing". Without it, the state marks your company as delinquent, which can immediately disrupt your international operations and vendor contracts.
State Specific Deadlines
- **Wyoming:** 1st day of the anniversary month of formation.
- **Delaware:** June 1st of every year.
- **Florida:** May 1st of every year.
The Cost of Missing the Deadline
Missing your state filing creates a domino effect across your entire business structure.
Administrative Dissolution
The state will revoke your LLC's legal existence. You lose limited liability protection, making your personal assets vulnerable.
Frozen Bank Accounts
US banks and Stripe API frequently query state databases. If your status falls out of "Good Standing", they lock your funds.
Late Penalties
Restoring a dissolved company requires paying massive late penalties and reinstatement fees, often costing hundreds of dollars.

Frequently Asked Questions
An Annual Report is a mandatory yearly filing required by your LLC's state of formation (like Wyoming or Delaware) to keep your company information up to date and maintain its 'Good Standing' status.
It depends on the state. In Wyoming, it is due on the first day of your anniversary month. For example, if you formed on June 15th, your report is due June 1st the following year. In Delaware, LLC taxes/reports are due June 1st every year.
Wyoming charges a $60 minimum fee (plus online convenience fee). Delaware charges a flat $300 Franchise Tax. Our $99 service fee is in addition to the state's required filing fee.
The state will initially impose late fees. If left unpaid, they will eventually dissolve (close) your company. This is called 'administrative dissolution' and it invalidates your LLC.
Yes. Banks like Mercury and payment processors like Stripe periodically check your company's state status. If your LLC is dissolved or not in good standing, they will freeze or close your accounts.
No. The State Annual Report is filed with the state (e.g., Wyoming Secretary of State). IRS tax returns (like Form 5472 and 1120) are separate federal requirements filed with the federal government.
No. Just like the initial formation, non-US residents from Pakistan do not need an SSN, ITIN, or US Visa to file their state annual report.
Yes. We can file your Annual Report regardless of who initially formed your LLC. We just need your company name and state to locate your records.
For Wyoming, the fee is based on your assets located inside Wyoming. For remote e-commerce or freelance businesses operated from Pakistan, this is typically $0, meaning you just pay the $60 minimum.
Once we have your details and payment, we typically file the report electronically within 1-2 business days. The state updates their records almost instantly.
