Missouri annual report: depends entirely on your suffix.
Missouri runs two systems under one registry: an LLC files no annual report, ever, while a corporation files a registration report on a real deadline with a $15-per-month late meter and a ninety-day dissolution fuse behind it. Which side of that line your company sits on decides whether this page is a warning or a receipt. Both halves are worth knowing, because services bill the quiet half anyway.
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 Missouri LLC files no annual report, no renewal, no yearly registry fee, permanently. Silence is the correct state. What still matters is the registered agent and the tax calendar, neither of which appears on the registry.
Corporations file registration reports with the Secretary of State, $20 online, with for-profits able to elect a biennial cycle. The report refreshes officers, addresses, and the agent on the public record. What we file for you →
For corporations: $15 for every thirty days late, a meter rather than a flat fee, running until the report lands. 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.
Ninety days past the corporate deadline, the state administratively dissolves the entity, leaving it able only to wind up its affairs until reinstatement settles the record.

LLCs owe silence, corporations owe the meter
Missouri LLCs file no annual report at all; Missouri corporations file registration reports at $20 online, with a $15-per-thirty-days late meter and administrative dissolution ninety days past due. Two systems share one registry and one common failure, the lapsed agent. Know your suffix, and never pay anyone to file the LLC report that does not exist.
Where you stand decides what you do next
Decline it: there is no Missouri LLC annual report to file, and that invoice is for a document that does not exist. Worth real money instead: a solid agent and a standing certificate when deals ask.
Stop the meter: the overdue registration report ends the $15 cycles the day it files. Past ninety days, reinstatement restores the record with the fees settled. We run the whole sequence at once.
One quiet company and one on a deadline is exactly how the wrong one gets watched. A multi-entity dashboard knows which is which and files only what is real.
They billed her LLC for a report Missouri never asked for
The compliance service billed my LLC eighty dollars a year to file the Missouri annual report, and I paid it, three years running. Missouri LLCs do not file annual reports. There was no filing behind the invoice, just a receipt for nothing. My corporation, meanwhile, sat on the late meter that was real. They charged the quiet company and forgot the loud one.

Does Missouri require an annual report?
For LLCs, no, none at all, permanently. For corporations, yes: a registration report filed with the Secretary of State, with for-profits able to elect a two-year cycle. The split is the whole Missouri story, and we confirm which side your entity is on as part of annual report service.
When is the Missouri registration report due?
Corporations file on the schedule set by their charter cycle, anchored to the anniversary month, with the record showing the exact due date. LLCs have no date because they have no report. We read the deadline from your record and put the real one on a watched calendar.
How much does the Missouri registration report cost?
$20 filed online for corporations, $45 on paper, $10 for nonprofits, with lateness metered at $15 per thirty days rather than a flat fee. 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 a Missouri corporation misses its registration report?
The late meter starts, $15 for each thirty days, and at ninety days past due the state administratively dissolves the corporation, leaving it able only to wind up affairs. Reinstatement restores it once the reports and fees are settled. The meter is polite; the fuse is not.
Should my Missouri LLC ever pay an annual report invoice?
No. There is no Missouri LLC annual report, so any invoice for filing one is charging for a document that does not exist, and services send them anyway. What an LLC should maintain is a reliable registered agent and its tax calendar, both real, neither an annual report.
Do foreign entities registered in Missouri file reports?
Foreign corporations file registration reports like domestic ones; foreign LLCs, like domestic LLCs, file none. Each state you operate in keeps its own rules, and our multi-entity dashboard keeps them straight, including the states that ask for nothing.
Can File.Business handle my Missouri compliance?
Yes. For corporations we file the registration report on cycle and verify standing after it posts; for LLCs we hold the agent, watch the record, and make sure you never pay for the filing that does not exist, with our service fee plus transaction fee itemized up front, one-time or on the automated plan.
