Annual reports

One of the most common corporate services utilized by clients is the filing of annual reports. With few exceptions, states require by law that companies (mostly Corporations and LLCs) file an annual report with the Secretary of State's office, or equivalent agency. Annual reports are often filed annually, although some states have semi-annual filing requirements while a few maintain specific time-frame requirements for the filing of these reports. Additionally, most states require the payment of a statutory fee and/or tax fee at the time of filing. The fee amounts in many states are fixed amounts, while other states may use a calculation method typically based on stock to determine the amount of fees due to the state. Failure to file annual reports by the required deadlines often results in additional financial penalties.

State Filings & Fees - Once the forms are prepared, necessary signatures are obtained, and client approvals are received, RASi will file the annual reports with the appropriate jurisdictions and advance any statutory fees that need to accompany the annual report at the time of filing.
