Who must file in Florida
Domestic and foreign profit corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, limited liability limited partnerships, and nonprofit corporations registered in Florida.
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 Florida annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations (Sunbiz). 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 Florida report is late?
A $400 late fee applies to profit corporations and LLCs after May 1. Continued delinquency can lead to administrative dissolution. Nonprofit corporations are not subject to the $400 late fee.
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.
Florida filing notes
Florida’s annual report deadline is earlier than many states. The report can be filed beginning January 1, and the fee increases sharply after May 1 for for-profit entities because of the $400 late fee.
The annual report is not a Florida income tax return. It updates the principal office, registered agent, and officers, directors, managers, or members. The entity may still have separate Florida sales, payroll, or corporate income tax obligations.
