What Happens if You Miss the Deadline?

Missing Washington's annual report deadline doesn’t mean your business is immediately dissolved, but the penalties add up quickly and the process to fix it is more time-consuming than filing on time.

  • Administration dissolution risk after continued non-compliance
  • Late fees and penalties (fees vary - check your entity’s status at the WA Business Hub)
  • Reinstatement process required if your entity is dissolved
