What compliance requirements does my LLC have?
Annual reports, franchise taxes, BOIR filings, registered agent renewals — the recurring filings every LLC has to keep up with.
Stop worrying about compliance.
You don't have to track any of this yourself. Our Auto-Compliance service handles your annual reports, franchise taxes, BOIR filings, and registered agent renewals automatically — across every state your business operates in.

Six recurring obligations that keep an LLC in good standing.
State annual report
Updates the state on your registered agent, address, members, and managers. Filed with the Secretary of State.
Franchise tax
A tax levied on the privilege of doing business in a state. Some states charge a flat fee; others scale with revenue or assets.
BOIR (Beneficial Ownership Information Report)
Federal filing with FinCEN identifying beneficial owners. Required for most US LLCs under the Corporate Transparency Act.
Federal tax filings
Form 1065 for multi-member LLCs (with K-1s to members), or Schedule C for single-member LLCs. Plus quarterly estimated tax payments.
Registered agent renewal
Your registered agent service must remain active and the address must stay current with the state.
State and local business licenses
City and county licenses, sales tax permits, professional licenses — anything industry- or location-specific.
Requirements vary by state
Delaware charges a $300 flat franchise tax with no annual report. California charges $800 minimum franchise tax plus a Statement of Information. Texas requires a Public Information Report and franchise tax based on revenue. Wyoming charges $60 for the annual report and no state income tax. Multi-state operations multiply this list — every state where you're registered to do business has its own requirements.
What happens when you miss a filing?
The consequences add up fast
- Late fees and penalties — typically $25–$500+ per filing, often per month.
- Loss of good standing— banks freeze accounts, partners can't close deals, and you can't sue to enforce contracts.
- Administrative dissolution — after enough missed filings, the state can shut your LLC down.
- Personal liability exposure — if your LLC is dissolved, the corporate veil disappears and your personal assets become fair game.
- BOIR penalties — up to $500/day, $10,000 in criminal fines, and prison time for willful non-compliance.
