Connecticut annual report: the whole state files by March 31.
Connecticut gives every LLC the same window: January 1 to March 31, $80, filed with the Secretary of the State, the office’s formal name here, and filed online only, because the state stopped accepting paper. April 1 is not a soft landing: a $50 late fee attaches immediately, on day one, and prolonged silence walks the record out of good standing toward dissolution. One season, one price, no paper, no patience.
This year's report, prepared and filed with the Secretary of State, with your standing verified after it posts.
Four facts cover the whole system
A once-a-year filing with the Secretary of the State confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials on the record. Connecticut accepts it online only; paper filings are returned. What we file for you →
Inside the universal window, January 1 through March 31, every year, for every LLC at once regardless of formation date. One statewide season, colliding with tax time by design of the calendar, not the state. Put it on a watched calendar →
$80 for an LLC, set by statute. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
The $50 late fee attaches on April 1, immediately, no grace theater, taking the filing to $130. Continued silence costs good standing and, eventually, the entity itself, with reinstatement as the road back.

March 31 closes the window, April 1 sends the bill
The Connecticut LLC annual report is $80, due in the universal window from January 1 to March 31, filed online only with the Secretary of the State. A $50 late fee attaches immediately on April 1, and continued nonfiling costs good standing and eventually the entity. One season for the whole state, and a bill for everyone who treats April as part of it.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Inside the window: file now, $80, done. Past March 31: the $50 is already attached, but filing today stops the walk toward lost standing, and $130 now beats a reinstatement case later.
File what is missing and the record heals; if dissolution already landed, reinstatement with the missed years settled restores it. We run the full sequence at once.
Not here: Connecticut accepts the annual report online only, and mailed filings come back unprocessed while the deadline keeps moving. Our watched calendar files it the right way, in January.
He mailed it in March, it returned in April, with a fee
I mailed the report the second week of March like my father did for thirty years, and Connecticut mailed it back: online only, no paper accepted. By the time the envelope made its round trip, it was April, the $50 was automatic, and my thirty-year-old ritual cost $130. The state did not move the deadline. It moved the door.

What is the Connecticut annual report?
A once-a-year filing with the Secretary of the State, Connecticut’s registry office, confirming your addresses, registered agent, and officials. The state accepts it online only. We prepare and file it on time as part of annual report service.
When is the Connecticut annual report due?
For LLCs, inside the universal window from January 1 to March 31, every year, regardless of when you formed. Corporations run on their own anniversary-based schedule. One statewide season is easy to remember and easy to postpone, which is why it belongs on a watched calendar in January.
How much does the Connecticut annual report cost?
$80 for an LLC, set by statute, with a $50 late fee attaching immediately after March 31, taking a late filing to $130. When we file it for you, the total is the state fee plus a transaction fee plus our service fee, as a one-time filing or on the automated annual plan, itemized on the pricing page before you pay, so nothing quoted here can go stale.
What happens if I miss the Connecticut annual report deadline?
The $50 late fee lands on April 1, immediately and without a waiver process. Continued nonfiling drops the company from good standing, publicly, and leads to administrative dissolution, with reinstatement and the missed years as the only road back.
Can I file the Connecticut annual report by mail?
No: Connecticut is online-only for the annual report and returns paper filings unprocessed, a detail that costs traditional filers real money when the round trip crosses March 31. We file electronically, in January, and keep the confirmation on record.
Do foreign-registered entities file a Connecticut annual report too?
Yes, on the same schedule and fee as domestic entities of their type, on top of home-state obligations, with the same immediate late fee behind the deadline. Our multi-entity dashboard tracks every state you operate in.
Can File.Business file my Connecticut annual report?
Yes. We put the window on a watched calendar, file online in January ahead of the statewide rush, and verify your standing after it posts, with the state fee, transaction fee, and our service fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
