Pennsylvania annual report: new law, new habit.
Pennsylvania ran on a once-a-decade filing for generations, then Act 122 changed everything: starting in 2025, every entity files an annual report, corporations by June 30, LLCs by September 30, others by December 31, at $7 for profit companies. The grace years are real but temporary, with dissolution enforcement phasing in from 2027. A whole state is learning a yearly habit at once. Early learners win.
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
Act 122 retired the old decennial report and made Pennsylvania an annual-report state from 2025. Millions of entities that never had a yearly rhythm now have one, sorted by entity type rather than anniversary.
By entity type, statewide: corporations by June 30, LLCs by September 30, everything else by December 31, every year. No anniversary math, just three fixed dates and the question of which one is yours. Put yours on a watched calendar →
Seven dollars for business entities, zero for nonprofits, among the cheapest reports in the country. Pennsylvania made the filing nearly free precisely because the point is the information, not the revenue.
For now, grace: dissolution enforcement phases in starting 2027, giving the state’s millions of entities time to learn the rhythm. After that, missed reports start administrative dissolution tracks like any other state, with reinstatement to follow.

Grace years now, real teeth from 2027
Act 122 made Pennsylvania an annual-report state from 2025: corporations by June 30, LLCs by September 30, others by December 31, at $7 for business entities. Dissolution enforcement phases in from 2027, which makes these the cheapest years there will ever be to build the habit. The decennial era is over; the record does not care who noticed.

Corporations June 30, LLCs September 30, everything else December 31. If your entity type is unusual, we confirm from the record itself and put the right date on a watched calendar.
Then your compliance instincts are calibrated to a retired law. The decennial guide explains the transition, and our calendar replaces a once-a-decade memory with a yearly one that runs itself.
Done until 2031, under a law that no longer exists
I filed the decennial in 2021 and mentally stamped the company done until 2031. My accountant mentioned Act 122 in passing two years later, and I did not believe her until I read it: annual now, September 30, seven dollars. I had already missed one. Pennsylvania changed the rhythm of a hundred years. The record started counting anyway.

Does Pennsylvania require an annual report?
Yes, as of 2025: Act 122 replaced the old once-a-decade decennial filing with an annual report for every registered entity. It refreshes your addresses, registered office, and officials yearly. We file it on time as part of annual report service.
When is the Pennsylvania annual report due?
By entity type, statewide, every year: corporations by June 30, LLCs by September 30, and other entity types by December 31. There is no anniversary math. The dates repeat annually, which is a brand-new rhythm for Pennsylvania entities and belongs on a watched calendar now.
How much does the Pennsylvania annual report cost?
Seven dollars for business entities and free for nonprofits, among the cheapest reports in the country, the first line of a total that adds a transaction fee and our service fee, one-time or automated, itemized on the pricing page. The price signals the point: Pennsylvania wants current information, not revenue. Our service pricing lives on the pricing page.
What happens if I miss the Pennsylvania annual report?
During the transition, grace: dissolution enforcement phases in starting 2027, so early misses draw no proceedings yet, though they sit on the record. After the phase-in, missed reports open administrative dissolution tracks like any other state, with reinstatement as the road back.
What happened to the Pennsylvania decennial report?
Act 122 retired it: the once-a-decade filing that generations of Pennsylvania companies knew ended when the annual report began in 2025. A decennial filed before the change does not extend into the new system. Our decennial guide covers the transition in full.
Do foreign entities registered in Pennsylvania file the annual report too?
Yes, on the same type-based dates and the same $7 fee, on top of their home state’s requirements. Every state expects its own filings; our multi-entity dashboard keeps each one straight, including brand-new regimes like this one.
Can File.Business file my Pennsylvania annual report?
Yes. We identify your type’s date, put it on a watched calendar, file each year with the Department of State, charge the $7 state fee plus our transaction and service fee, one-time or automated, and verify your standing after it posts, so the state’s newest habit is one you never had to build yourself.
