All domestic and foreign corporations registered in Massachusetts must file an annual report with the Secretary of the Commonwealth within two and one-half months after their fiscal year ends.
How to File an Annual Report
To file online:
- Navigate to the Corporations Division web portal

If you miss the deadline, your corporation risks losing its good standing status.
Consequences of Non-Filing
What happens if you don’t file an annual report for LLC in Massachusetts? Non-filing is a serious offense that can lead to revocation of your company’s good standing in the state.
Annual reports update state agencies on registered entities. Public companies must publish reports due to SEC regulations, but private companies can also benefit from the practice.
Form 990-EZ filers must have less than $200,000 in gross receipts and $500,000 in assets.
The 10-K has more details than the annual report.
The fee to file is $500, which can be done by mail, online, or fax. We can file for you to ensure on-time filing.
