If you conduct business in Pennsylvania, it’s time to take note of the state’s newly implemented annual report filing requirement. Starting January 6, 2025, the Pennsylvania Department of State mandates that certain entity types file an annual report to maintain compliance and good standing.
Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about the new requirement, including key deadlines, applicable entity structures, and how our team can help you stay on top of these changes.
Who Needs to File?
The Pennsylvania annual report filing requirement applies to the following entity types:
- Domestic and Foreign Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
- Domestic and Foreign Corporations
- Domestic and Foreign Nonprofit Corporations
- Limited Partnerships (LPs)
- Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)
- Limited Liability Limited Partnerships (LLLPs)
- Business Trusts
Due Dates
The deadline to file your annual report varies by entity type. Please see below when reports are due
| Association Type | Filing dates |
|---|---|
| Corporations (business and nonprofit)/domestic and foreign | January 1 – June 30 |
| Limited liability companies/domestic and foreign | January 1 – September 30 |
| Limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, business trusts, professional associations/domestic and foreign | January 1 – December 31 |
What to Include in the Report
The annual report requires specific information to ensure compliance, including:
- Entity name
- Jurisdiction of formation (if foreign)
- Registered office address in Pennsylvania
- Name of at least one officer, partner, member, or manager
- Filing fee payment
Why Staying Compliant is Critical
Falling out of compliance can impact your ability to do business and result in additional costs for reinstatements. Staying on top of these filings ensures uninterrupted operations and preserves your good standing with the Pennsylvania Department of State. Beginning in 2027, failure to file an annual report will result in the administrative dissolution, termination or cancellation of the registration.
