Pennslyvania Annual Report Filing Guide; What Businesses Need to Know in 2025

For the first time, Pennsylvania business entities will be required to file an annual report with the Department of State. This new mandate takes effect in 2025. If you’re a registered LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or partnership, it applies to you.

In this guide, we’ll break down the filing deadlines, what information is required, how much it costs, and how to stay compliant without the stress.

Why Pennsylvania Is Introducing Annual Reports

With the passage of Act 122, Pennsylvania is aligning with most other states by requiring business entities to file annual reports. The goal is to maintain accurate public records and improve communication between the state and registered businesses.

Even though it’s a new requirement, the report itself is simple. You’ll confirm your business details, update any changes, and submit it by the deadline assigned to your entity type. But don’t skip it. Failure to file can lead to real consequences, including losing your company’s good standing.

Who Needs to File?

Starting in 2025, the annual report will be mandatory for nearly all business entities registered in Pennsylvania:

• Domestic and foreign LLCs
• Domestic and foreign corporations
• Nonprofits
• Limited Partnerships (LPs)
• Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs)

This applies whether your business is active or inactive, large or small, new or well-established. If you’re registered with the state, you’re expected to file.

When Is the Report Due?

Due dates vary based on your business entity type. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Entity Type	Filing Deadline
Corporations	June 30
LLCs	September 30
Nonprofits	December 31
LPs / LLPs	April 30

You can file up to six months in advance. Filing early can help you avoid last-minute stress or technical issues close to the deadline.

What Does It Cost?

While Pennsylvania is introducing this new requirement, the state has kept the filing fees minimal. Most businesses will pay just $7 per year to file their report. This includes LLCs, corporations, LPs, and LLPs.

For nonprofit organizations, the report is free to file. Even though there’s no cost, nonprofits are still required to file. The submission confirms the organization is still active and helps the state maintain accurate contact information.

These fees are due at the time of submission. If your payment fails or the report is incomplete, your business could be marked as noncompliant, even if you attempted to file before the deadline.

What Happens If You Don’t File?

Missing your annual report deadline comes with escalating consequences.

At first, the Department of State will change your business’s status from active to noncompliant. This could prevent you from renewing licenses, opening new bank accounts, or signing contracts that require good standing.

If 60 days pass without a completed filing, your business could be administratively dissolved. That means the state will consider your entity inactive, removing its legal protections and authority to operate. Reinstating a dissolved business requires additional paperwork, fees, and time. In some cases, you may lose your business name.

It’s far easier to file on time than to deal with the hassle of reinstatement. With the filing window open up to six months in advance, planning ahead gives you flexibility and peace of mind.

What Information Is Required?

The annual report is designed to confirm your basic business information. Even if your details haven’t changed from the prior year, you’ll still need to file. The required information includes:

• Legal business name
• Principal office address
• Registered office or commercial registered agent address
• Name and title of at least one business governor (such as a member, partner, or officer)

You do not need to report financial data or tax information. This is purely an administrative filing meant to keep your registration up to date.
