# US State Annual Reports & Franchise Taxes

> Each US state requires annual or biennial reports and fees to keep a company in good standing — for example Delaware's 1 June LLC tax ($400 from tax year 2026) and 1 March corporate franchise tax and report, Wyoming's anniversary-month report, Florida's 1 May report and Texas's franchise tax reports. Missing them leads to penalties, loss of good standing and eventually administrative dissolution.

Founders often discover a lapse only when a bank, investor or marketplace asks for a certificate of good standing. We maintain a calendar for every entity and state, including registered agent renewals.

Where an entity has lapsed, we file the overdue reports and reinstatement.

## FAQs

### What happens if I miss my Delaware LLC tax?

Delaware adds a penalty and interest, and continued non-payment leads to the LLC losing good standing and eventually being cancelled.

### Can a dissolved LLC be revived?

Most states allow reinstatement by filing overdue reports and paying fees and penalties, within time limits that vary by state.

### Do I need to file in states where my LLC is registered as foreign?

Yes. A company registered to do business in another state files annual reports there too.
