For example, if your business entity was formed January 1st, 2021, the deadline for the first Annual Report will be January 31st, 2022. Filings can be made 90 days in advance of the due date.
The Department of the Treasury’s office emails a reminder in advance of the Annual Report due date. Even though a reminder is sent, it’s important to make an additional reminder for yourself should you not receive it.Â
