New Jersey Annual Report 2026: Deadlines, Fees & Filing Guide

Every New Jersey LLC, corporation, and LP must file an annual report by the last day of its anniversary month each year — the state fee is $75 ($30 for nonprofits). New Jersey charges no per-year late fee, but two consecutive missed filings lead to administrative revocation, after which you must reinstate. FileForms files New Jersey annual reports automatically and tracks every entity’s anniversary month across your portfolio.

New Jersey’s annual report is inexpensive and quick — but it’s anniversary-based, so every entity you own has its own deadline, and there are no extensions. The real risk isn’t a late fee (there isn’t one); it’s that two missed years in a row gets your business administratively revoked.

1. What is the New Jersey Annual Report?

The New Jersey annual report is a yearly filing with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES) that keeps your entity’s information current — registered agent, registered office, and principal business address — and keeps it in good standing. Every domestic and foreign LLC, corporation, LP, and nonprofit registered in New Jersey must file.

2. Who needs to file in New Jersey?

• LLCs (domestic and foreign) — every year.
• Corporations (for-profit and professional) — every year.
• Nonprofit corporations — every year ($30 fee).
• LPs and foreign entities authorized in New Jersey — every year.

The filing requirement begins the year after formation — form in 2025 and your first annual report is due in 2026.

4. When is the New Jersey Deadline?

New Jersey uses an anniversary-month system: your report is due by the last day of the month your entity was formed or authorized in New Jersey. Formed on March 12? Your report is due by March 31 every year. You can file starting 30 days before your anniversary month, and there are no extensions. If you manage several entities, you’re tracking a different due date for each one — exactly what FileForms automates.

5. What Happens If You Miss the New Jersey Deadline?

• New Jersey does not charge a per-year late fee, so a single missed month is low-cost to cure.
• But miss two consecutive years and the state administratively revokes your entity (or a foreign entity’s authority) — you lose good standing and can’t obtain a certificate needed for financing, contracts, or closings.
• Reinstatement requires filing all past-due reports, paying a reinstatement fee, and obtaining tax clearance — far more costly than the $75 you skipped.
