The money is only part of it. The filing mechanics trip up owners who handle it themselves. The state wants a current Annual Report filed at the same time as your reinstatement application.

That pairing creates a hard checkpoint. If your Registered Agent details are out of date, the state rejects the entire application at once. The same happens if the agent resigned while you were away. Make sure your address and agent details match the current state records.

A rejection keeps your business in legal limbo.
