Introduction: Why the LLC Annual Report Matters in 2025
Forming an LLC is just the beginning. To keep your company in good standing, most U.S. states require you to file an LLC annual report. This ensures your business stays active in state records and avoids fines or administrative dissolution.
Whether you’re a U.S. resident or a non-resident operating your LLC remotely, understanding state-by-state requirements in 2025 is crucial.

What Is an LLC Annual Report?
An LLC annual report is a document that updates your state’s business registry with current information about your company. It often includes:
-
Business address
-
Registered agent details
-
Member/Manager information
-
Nature of business
-
Filing fee
Some states call it a “Biennial Report” (filed every two years) or “Franchise Tax Report”.
Who Needs to File an Annual Report in 2025?
Most U.S. states require LLCs to file this report yearly. Even if your business hasn’t made income, filing is still required to avoid penalties.
If you’re a foreign-owned LLC or an eCommerce seller, you must comply like everyone else.
