California Annual Report. All California corporations, nonprofits, and LLCs must file a California Statement of Information – also called a California Annual Report. This report must be filed with the California Secretary of State each year OR every other year – depending on what type of business you own.
If you still do not file, your corporation will lose its “good standing,” which may make it more difficult to run certain business operations. If you still do not file, your state agency will dissolve your corporation and strike it off the register.
If you forget to file your annual report, you'll receive a warning letter from the Secretary of State. If you still don't file, the next step is administrative dissolution. This means that your LLC is no longer recognized as a legal entity, and you lose the protections that come with being an LLC.
What to Include in an Annual Report Your LLC's legal name. LLC identification number (State ID Number and/or EIN). Principal business location in the state. LLC owner and member information. Registered agent information. Financial details for the current year.
What Happens If You Don't File? Usually a state will smack your business with a late penalty, as a kind of warning shot, to get you to file your annual report as soon as possible, and you'll usually have a second deadline before the state takes any further action against your business.
