Deep dive

Who files, when, and what it costs

Who must file

Every Delaware LLC, Corporation, and Limited Partnership in active status must file an annual report. Foreign-qualified entities (formed elsewhere, registered in Delaware) also file. Nonprofit Corporations file at a reduced fee. Sole proprietors and general partnerships do not file annual reports (they are not registered entities).

When it is due

LLCs: June 1 each year. Filing window opens January 1.

Corporations: March 1 each year.

What it costs

LLC fee: $300 flat (no scaling)

Corporation fee: $175 minimum (Authorized Shares Method) or $400 minimum (Assumed Par Value Method) (max $200,000)

Late fee: $200 + 1.5% per month interest the moment the deadline passes.

What happens if you miss the deadline

Delaware automatically applies the late fee. After 3 years of non-payment, the state administratively dissolves the entity. Reinstatement requires filing all back reports plus a reinstatement fee. The longer you wait, the more it costs.
