Worked example
Real numbers from this tool, line by line.
Six Florida client LLCs, unfiled since 1 May 2026, owe $3,232.50 today - and a US bookkeeper running that book has until Friday 18 September 2026 to file before the state administratively dissolves them on Friday 25 September 2026.
That number is not a scare figure. It is $138.75 of state filing fee plus $400 of late penalty, per entity, times six. Florida's $400 penalty is non-waivable: no appeal, no hardship waiver, applied the moment 1 May passes. The dissolution dates are not vague either. Florida dissolves entities that have not filed by the third Friday of September, on the fourth Friday of September. In 2026 that is 18 September and 25 September.
The reason this keeps catching people is that the arithmetic changes at the state line, and it changes every year. Hold entities in seven states and you are holding seven different rules.
Delaware charges a flat $300 annual tax on an LLC, due 1 June, and does not ask for an annual report at all. Miss it and you owe a $200 penalty plus 1.5% interest per month. On 13 September 2026 that is 104 days past due, so the penalty has already grown to $218 per entity. Two Delaware LLCs: $1,036.00.
Pennsylvania is the one almost nobody has right. Pennsylvania LLCs had no annual report until 2025. Now they do: $7, due 30 September, with corporations due 30 June. On 13 September 2026 that is 17 days away, and six LLCs cost $42.00 in total. There is no dissolution penalty for the 2025 or 2026 report. Enforcement starts with the 2027 report, six months after the deadline. Ask a language model trained before that change and you get a confident answer that Pennsylvania has no annual report.
Georgia charges $60 online for the annual registration, due 1 April, with a $25 late fee from 2 April and a grace period that runs to 1 July. Past that, reinstatement costs $250 plus $50 for every year missed. California does not file an annual report at all: it files a Statement of Information, form LLC-12, $20, every two years, by the end of the registration anniversary month, with a $250 penalty after the delinquency notice. Texas charges $0 to file, which makes it feel optional, but the franchise tax report and the Public Information Report are both due 15 May whatever the income, and missing them forfeits the right to transact business. Ohio asks for nothing from an LLC at all.
Seven states, seven answers, and four of them have moved in the last two years.
Annual Report Deadline Check 2026 is a browser extension and a web page that share one brain. You pick the state, put in the date the entity was registered there, today's date, and how many entities you hold in that state. It returns the deadline, the days left or days overdue, the status, the penalty per entity today, the total across every entity, the dated point at which the state can dissolve you, and the rule the answer came from.
All of that is free. No key, no limit, no watermark, no locking the answer after three runs. The free layer finishes the job you came for.
The licence key sits on a different axis: ownership and repetition. $60 once, one key per person or team seat. It downloads the worked row as a .csv you can paste into the client file, and it sets a browser reminder on the deadline so the next filing season finds you instead of the other way round. For comparison, a registered-agent annual-report filing service runs about $99 to $199 per entity per year, on top of the state fee.
The honest limit: seven states, chosen because their 2026 numbers could be verified rather than guessed.
Questions people ask
What does this actually tell me?
Pick a US state, your registration date and how many entities you hold there. It returns the 2026 filing deadline, days left or days overdue, the penalty per entity as it stands today, the total across all your entities, and the dated point at which the state can administratively dissolve the entity.
Who is this for?
Bookkeepers and fractional CFOs carrying client LLCs in several states, and owners who foreign-qualified into a second or third state and now have deadlines they did not have before. If you hold entities in Florida, Delaware, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Texas or Ohio, each one has different arithmetic.
Why not just ask a chatbot?
Because these numbers move. Pennsylvania's annual report only began in 2025 and its dissolution enforcement starts with the 2027 report. Georgia raised its online registration to $60. A model trained a year ago answers with last year's fee and last year's grace date, confidently, with no date stamp on the answer.
What is free and what needs a key?
Every calculation is free, with no key, no limit and no watermark - deadline, penalty, total and dissolution date, for all seven states, in the popup and on the web page. The licence key adds two things on a different axis: a .csv download of the worked row, and a browser reminder set on the deadline.
What would this cost me otherwise?
A registered-agent annual-report filing service runs about $99 to $199 per entity per year on top of the state fee. Missing one Florida deadline costs $400 per entity in non-waivable penalty, and the entity is administratively dissolved on the fourth Friday of September.
