What is an “annual report?”
Annual reports are required for all limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations (profit and nonprofit). The annual report filed with the Secretary of State’s office ensures your registration remains up to date and confirms that you are an active business in Montana. It is a renewal of your registration information, where you can update the business mailing address, registered agent, shares (if applicable), and principals of record. It is not a tax or earnings report.
The Secretary of State's Office will waive the fee for all annual reports filed between January 1st and April 15th.
