New Jersey LLC Annual Report: Due Date, $75 Fee & Filing Guide

New Jersey LLC owners must file an annual report every year to keep their business information current with the state.

The New Jersey LLC annual report fee is $75, and the report is filed online through the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES).

The most important thing to remember is simple: your due date is based on the month your LLC was formed.

New Jersey LLC Annual Report: Quick Facts

New Jersey requires businesses to file their annual reports even if they do not receive a reminder from the state.

When Is the New Jersey LLC Annual Report Due?

Your New Jersey LLC annual report is due on the last day of the month in which the LLC was formed.

For example:

• LLC formed in March → annual report due March 31
• LLC formed in July → annual report due July 31
• LLC formed in November → annual report due November 30

Your formation month determines the deadline, but the filing deadline is the last day of that month each year.

Example

If your LLC was formed on July 15, 2025, its annual report is due by July 31 each year.

This is different from states that use a fixed annual-report deadline for all businesses.

How Much Does a New Jersey LLC Annual Report Cost?

The New Jersey LLC annual report filing fee is $75.

The online filing portal may also charge a separate payment-processing fee depending on the payment method.

Currently, the portal lists:

• Credit card: $3 processing fee
• E-check: $0.50 processing fee

These processing charges are separate from the $75 state filing fee.

What Information Does the Annual Report Update?

The annual report helps keep your New Jersey business record current.

Depending on the entity and information on file, you may be able to review or update details such as:

• Registered agent
• Registered office
• Business address
• Members or managers
• Other business information maintained by the state

Before submitting the report, carefully review your registered-agent and business-address information.

Keeping this information current is especially important if your company has moved or changed registered agents.

How to File a New Jersey LLC Annual Report

New Jersey provides an online Annual Reports and Change Services system.

The general process is:

1. Access the New Jersey annual-report filing portal.
2. Locate your LLC using the requested business information.
3. Review the information currently on file.
4. Update eligible information if necessary.
5. Pay the $75 filing fee and applicable processing fee.
6. Submit the annual report.
7. Save your confirmation and filing records.

If you manage multiple companies, save each confirmation with the corresponding LLC's compliance records.

What Happens If You Miss the Deadline?

Missing the annual report deadline can put your LLC's active status at risk.

New Jersey states that failure to file an annual report can result in revocation of the business.

If an LLC is revoked, reinstatement may require payment of outstanding annual-report fees and applicable reinstatement fees.

New Jersey currently lists a $75 reinstatement filing fee for an LLC, in addition to outstanding annual-report obligations.

Additional requirements can apply depending on how long the business has been revoked.

The safest approach is to file the annual report before the deadline rather than waiting until the business has been revoked.

Does an LLC With No Income Still Need to File?

Yes.

The New Jersey annual report is a business compliance filing, not an income tax return.

An LLC does not avoid the annual report simply because it:

• Had no revenue
• Had no sales
• Did not make a profit
• Was inactive during the year

Tax filing requirements are separate and depend on the LLC's tax classification, activities, ownership, employees, and other circumstances.

What About a Foreign LLC Registered in New Jersey?

A foreign LLC formed in another state may also have New Jersey annual-report obligations after registering to do business in New Jersey.

Being formed outside New Jersey does not automatically eliminate the company's New Jersey compliance requirements.

Foreign LLCs should also keep their New Jersey registered agent and business information current.

Common New Jersey LLC Annual Report Mistakes

1. Forgetting the Formation Month

New Jersey's deadline is based on the month the LLC was formed, not a universal December or calendar-year deadline.

2. Waiting for a Reminder

Don't rely on receiving a reminder from the state. The business remains responsible for filing its annual report.

3. Using Outdated Business Information

Review your registered agent, registered office, and business address before submitting the report.

4. Assuming No Revenue Means No Filing

The annual report is separate from income and tax activity.

5. Confusing Private Solicitations With State Notices

Businesses may receive mail or emails from private companies offering annual-report filing services.

Before paying a third party, verify whether the communication is actually from the State of New Jersey and compare the requested fee with the state's official filing fee.
