When the Pennsylvania Annual Report is due
Pennsylvania LLCs file an Annual Report every year. It is due between January 1 and September 30 each year.
The first one is due the year after the LLC is formed.
What the Annual Report asks for
It confirms or updates what the state holds about your LLC. Expect to give:
- The LLC's name and Pennsylvania file number
- The principal office and mailing address
- Your registered agent's name and address in Pennsylvania
- The members or managers, as your state's form asks
If something has changed since the last filing, such as a new member or manager, update your operating agreement first so the two match.
If you miss it
The LLC falls out of good standing on Pennsylvania's records. Most states also add a late penalty, and many administratively dissolve an LLC whose report stays unfiled. Without good standing, banks and partners ask questions, some contracts cannot be signed, and a dissolved LLC has to file for reinstatement. The sources below set out exactly what Pennsylvania does.
How to file
File with the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations, online. Have your file number and your current agent and address details ready.
