Frequently Asked Questions About Illinois Annual Report Filing

Here are the questions our Illinois customers ask most.

What is the Illinois annual report?

The Illinois annual report is a yearly filing that keeps the state’s records current for your business. It includes your Illinois file number, registered agent information, registered office address, principal office address, and manager, member, officer, or director details depending on your entity type. Illinois requires annual reports for most domestic and foreign LLCs, corporations, and nonprofit corporations. → Full breakdown: Illinois Annual Report Guide

When is the Illinois annual report due?

Illinois annual reports are due before the first day of the entity’s anniversary month each year. LLCs, for-profit corporations, and nonprofit corporations all follow this annual deadline. Illinois generally allows the report to be filed within the 60 days immediately before the first day of the anniversary month.

How much does it cost to file a Illinois annual report?

Illinois annual report fees vary by entity type. Most LLCs and corporations pay a $75 state filing fee. Illinois nonprofit corporations generally pay $10. LLCs with active series may owe an additional $50 for each series, and late filings may include penalties. If you file through USFS, our service fee is $149 plus state fees.

What happens if I don't file my Illinois annual report?

Missing the deadline can put your business at risk of administrative dissolution or revocation by the Illinois Secretary of State. It can also complicate your ability to get financing, sign leases, renew licenses, or register to operate in other states. Reinstatement is possible, but it requires additional paperwork, past-due filings, and fees. Illinois LLCs may also owe a $100 penalty if the report is not filed before the first day of the second month after the anniversary month, plus additional penalties for continued delinquency.→ Full breakdown: Missed Illinois Annual Report Guide

Is USFS affiliated with the Illinois Department of State?

No. USFS is a private filing service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of the Illinois state government. We prepare and submit filings on behalf of our customers, but we are an independent company.

Can I file my Illinois annual report myself?

Yes. You can file directly through the Illinois Business Filing System. USFS is an option for business owners who prefer to delegate the process and avoid navigating the state portal.

What information do I need to file my Illinois annual report

You’ll need your Illinois file number, business name, registered agent information, registered office address in Illinois, principal office address, and the names and addresses of your officers and directors for corporations or members and managers for LLCs. Some entities may also need to confirm business purpose, authorized shares, or series information depending on the entity type.

Does USFS offer registered agent services in Illinois?

Yes, through our Annual Compliance Subscription. Starting at $299/year, the subscription includes registered agent service, annual report filing, and the state fee, so you have one annual payment and nothing to track yourself.→ Click for registered agent services: Illinois Annual Compliance Subscription
