How to file the Michigan annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, Corporations, Securities and Commercial Licensing. 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 Michigan report is late?
A late Michigan annual filing can result in a late fee and eventual dissolution or revocation.
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.
Michigan filing notes
Michigan uses different deadlines for LLCs and corporations. LLCs file by February 15, while corporations file by May 15. Nonprofits generally have an October 1 deadline.
The annual filing is separate from Michigan income, sales, and payroll tax filings. The filing updates the registered agent and principal office and keeps the entity in good standing.
