New Jersey wants one report from every registered LLC and corporation, every year. It is filed with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES), it is online only, and the deadline is tied to your own anniversary month rather than a statewide date. Here is the full picture.

Key Details

Due: Last day of your formation anniversary month, every year
Fee: $75 for LLCs and for-profit corporations
Where: DORES online portal (no paper filing exists)
Authority: N.J.S.A. 42:2C-26 for LLCs
Skip it twice: Two consecutive missed years and the state can revoke your charter

New Jersey Annual Report Due Date

Formed on March 15? Due March 31, every year. Formed October 3? Due October 31. Only the month matters, never the day.

Two wrinkles:

Your first report is not due in your formation year. It lands the following year, at the end of your anniversary month.
Foreign LLCs count from their New Jersey registration date, not their home-state formation date.

The state charges $75. The portal adds a service surcharge: $3 if you pay by credit card, $1 by eCheck. Updating your registered agent or registered office inside the report tacks on another $25 statutory fee.

Steps to File the New Jersey Annual Report

Online only. New Jersey closed the paper option; DORES accepts no mailed annual reports. The Treasury's annual report information page points to the filing portal. From there:

Pull up your entity using your business ID and formation date.
Confirm or update the record: agent, offices, members or managers.
Answer the workers' compensation section. It is mandatory even when the honest answer is that no coverage is required.
Pay the $75 plus the card or eCheck surcharge and download your confirmation.

Ten minutes if nothing changed.

What Happens If You File Late

No flat late fine is on the books for LLC reports. The real penalty structure:

The moment your anniversary month ends unfiled, you are delinquent and out of good standing.
Banks, lenders, and counterparties who check the state record will see it.
Two consecutive unfiled years and the state can revoke: administrative dissolution for an LLC, charter revocation for a corporation.
Revoked means the liability shield is in question until you reinstate, and reinstatement means filing the back reports and paying every delinquent fee.

All that over a $75 filing. Do not let it happen.

Taxes Are a Separate Track

Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.

The annual report is a records update, not a tax filing. If your LLC elected corporate taxation, the Division of Taxation may expect separate minimum payments from you; that runs on its own rails with its own deadlines. Ask your accountant which filings apply.
