Illinois annual report cost

Illinois sets the fee, and it varies widely, from nothing in a few states to a modest or substantial amount in others, sometimes flat and sometimes based on revenue, shares, or entity type. Because the figure changes and differs by entity, we show the current Illinois amount before filing and pass it through at cost. Our service pricing is on the pricing page.

Often yes: Illinois frequently sets different fees, and sometimes different forms and schedules, for LLCs versus corporations versus nonprofits, and corporations sometimes owe more. Filing under the wrong classification causes errors. We confirm the correct Illinois fee and form for your exact entity type so you pay the right amount on the right report, not a guess.

$100 for an LLC, plus a further $100 for each year from the second year of delinquency, so it escalates. A corporation pays no flat fee at all: its penalty is 10 percent of delinquent franchise tax plus 2 percent per month, and since the franchise tax exemption rose to $10,000 in 2025 that usually computes to nothing. Illinois dissolves an LLC 120 days after the notice of delinquency and a corporation 90 days after it. Reinstatement then costs $200 plus every report then due and all accrued fees and penalties. We track your Illinois due date and file automatically, so the question does not arise.

Most registered entities: LLCs, corporations, and often nonprofits and foreign entities registered in Illinois generally must file on Illinois's schedule to stay active, though a few states exempt certain types. If you are registered in Illinois, assume you file unless told otherwise. We confirm your Illinois obligation, and keep a reliable agent in place to receive the notices.

It depends on Illinois: many states require it every year, some every two years, and the due date may track your formation anniversary or a fixed calendar date. The cadence is not intuitive. We track your specific Illinois schedule on a compliance calendar so you never miss the cycle or misjudge a biennial year.

Yes, you can always file directly with Illinois; it does not require a service. People use us to avoid missing the non-obvious deadline, to keep every entity's filings in one place, and to have the report reviewed before submission. It is a safety net against the most common cause of losing good standing, not a requirement, and the choice is yours.

Yes. We track your Illinois due date, prepare the correct report for your entity type, pass the state fee through at cost, and file on time, with the confirmation returned to your records. It turns an easy-to-miss Illinois deadline into something handled automatically on your compliance calendar.
