Connecticut Annual Report Requirements

Connecticut requires most business entities to file an annual report with the Secretary of State. This filing updates your business information, maintains your good standing with the state, and satisfies your ongoing compliance obligations.

What Is Connecticut's Annual Report?

The annual report is a filing that updates your business's basic information with the Connecticut Secretary of State. It confirms details like your principal office address, registered agent, and the names of your managers, members, directors, or officers depending on your entity type.

Filing this report is part of maintaining your business in good standing. If you don't file on time, you may face penalties and potentially administrative dissolution of your business entity.

Filing Details You Need to Know

Filing Cadence: Annual

Filing Fee: $80

The annual report fee increased from $20 to $80 effective July 1, 2020. You'll file through the Connecticut Secretary of State's online portal or by mail, depending on your entity type and the filing options available.

Business Entity Tax (BET) Connecticut also has a Business Entity Tax with a $250 minimum for LLCs treated as corporations. Your specific tax obligations depend on your entity type and tax classification. This is separate from the annual report filing fee.

Where to File File your annual report through the Connecticut Secretary of State's online portal at portal.ct.gov/sots. You'll need your business entity information and details about your current registered agent, principal office, and management.

What Information Is Filed?

Your annual report typically includes:

• Business entity name and identification number
• Principal office address
• Registered agent name and registered office address
• Names and addresses of managers, members, directors, or officers
• Email address for state correspondence

You may also need to update other information specific to your entity type.

Consequences of Missing Your Filing

Failing to file your annual report on time can result in:

• Late fees or penalties imposed by the state
• Administrative dissolution if you continue to miss deadlines
• Loss of good standing with the state, which can affect your ability to conduct business, obtain financing, or enter contracts
• Potential loss of your business name if another entity registers it during your delinquency

Staying current with your annual report protects your business from these complications and ensures you maintain all the benefits and protections of your business entity status.
