Connecticut Annual Report 2026: Deadlines, Fees & Filing Guide

Connecticut LLCs, LPs, and LLPs must file an annual report every year between January 1 and March 31, and the fee is $80. Connecticut corporations file by the end of their anniversary month ($150 for stock corporations, $50 for non-stock and nonprofits). Miss the deadline and your business can lose its certificate of legal existence and face administrative dissolution. FileForms files Connecticut annual reports automatically and tracks every deadline across your entity portfolio.

Connecticut’s annual report is one of the easier filings to complete — but it’s also one of the easiest to forget, because LLCs and corporations follow two different deadline rules. Teams that rely on spreadsheets and calendar reminders routinely miss it, and in Connecticut a missed report blocks your certificate of legal existence and can lead to dissolution.

1. What is the Connecticut Annual Report?

The Connecticut annual report is a yearly filing with the Connecticut Secretary of the State that keeps your entity’s information current — principal office address, mailing address, registered agent, and the people who manage or direct the business. It is what keeps your company in “good standing,” which Connecticut formally calls a certificate of legal existence. Every registered LLC, corporation, LP, LLP, and nonprofit must file.

2. Who needs to file in Connecticut?

• LLCs, LPs, and LLPs — file annually between January 1 and March 31.
• Stock (for-profit) corporations — file by the end of the anniversary month of incorporation.
• Non-stock corporations and nonprofits — file annually.
• Foreign entities registered to do business in Connecticut file on the same schedule as their domestic counterparts.

4. When is the Connecticut Deadline?

Connecticut uses two different rules, which is the #1 reason businesses miss it:

• LLCs, LPs, and LLPs file on a fixed window — January 1 through March 31 every year, regardless of when you formed.
• Corporations file on an anniversary basis — by the last day of the month you incorporated. Formed July 10? Your report is due by July 31 each year.

If you manage both LLCs and corporations, you are tracking two separate deadline systems at once — exactly the kind of split FileForms monitors automatically.

5. What Happens If You Miss the Connecticut Deadline?

• You can no longer obtain a certificate of legal existence (good standing), which banks, lenders, and counterparties often require.
• Continued failure to file can lead to administrative dissolution of your entity by the Secretary of the State.
• A dissolved entity must go through reinstatement — additional paperwork, fees, and delays that can stall financing, contracts, and closings.

6. How to File Your Connecticut Annual Report with FileForms

1. Confirm your entity type and deadline — LLC (Jan–Mar) vs corporation (anniversary month).
2. Review your details — principal office, mailing address, registered agent, members/managers or directors/officers.
3. File in minutes — submit through FileForms, or let us file on your behalf and handle the state fee.
4. Save your confirmation — FileForms stores it with the entity and tracks next year’s deadline automatically.
