Who must file in Connecticut
Domestic and foreign corporations, LLCs, and nonprofit corporations registered in Connecticut.
The filing is separate from the entity’s income tax return, sales tax return, and payroll filings. Being current with the annual report does not by itself mean the entity is current on its taxes, and vice versa.

How to file the Connecticut annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the Connecticut Secretary of the State, Business Services Division. Confirm the registered agent and principal office are current.
- Gather the required information. Most reports ask for the principal office, registered agent, and the names or addresses of officers, directors, managers, or members.
- Prepare and review the report. Use the state’s online filing system or the current paper form. Review the entity type and filing period before submitting.
- Pay the state fee. The fee is paid to the state, separate from any service fee charged by our office. Save the confirmation and filed copy.
- Calendar the next deadline. Add the next annual or biennial due date to the entity calendar, and coordinate it with the registered agent and tax calendars.
What happens if the Connecticut report is late?
A missed Connecticut annual report can result in loss of good standing and eventual administrative dissolution. The state may also assess a late filing penalty.
If the entity has already lost good standing, reinstatement is usually a separate filing with its own fee. The longer the report remains unfiled, the more likely the state is to dissolve, revoke, or administratively terminate the entity.
Connecticut filing notes
Connecticut uses two different annual report schedules. LLCs have a fixed March 31 deadline, while corporations and nonprofit corporations file by their registration anniversary date. The filing can generally be completed online through the state business portal.
The annual report is not a tax return. It updates the Secretary of the State’s entity record, including the registered agent and principal office. A separate Connecticut tax filing may still be required even when the annual report is current.
