Quick answer

LLC annual report by state, in short: most US states require an LLC annual report (or a biennial report, franchise tax report or fee) to stay in good standing.

Why Annual Reports Matter

Missing a state filing can mean late fees, loss of good standing and eventually administrative dissolution. Banks and payment platforms may also check your LLC’s status. Foreign-owned single-member LLCs have a separate federal filing too: Form 5472.
