Who must file in New Jersey
Domestic and foreign corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships, LLPs, and nonprofit corporations registered in New Jersey.
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 New Jersey annual report
- Confirm the entity and registered agent. Use the name and entity number on file with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. 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 New Jersey report is late?
New Jersey does not charge a per-year late fee for the annual report, but two consecutive missed filings can lead to revocation of the entity’s authority. Reinstatement requires additional filings and fees.
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.
New Jersey filing notes
New Jersey uses the formation month as the deadline. An LLC formed in September files by September 30 each year; a corporation formed in March files by March 31. The state allows early filing up to 30 days before the due date.
The annual report is also the opportunity to confirm or update the registered agent and principal office. A registered agent change is filed separately and generally carries a $25 state fee. Missing two consecutive reports can lead to revocation, so the deadline should be tracked even when the report has no changes.
