Jay explains

Delaware LLCs file no annual report. They pay a flat $400 annual tax by June 1, online with the Division of Corporations; it was $300 until House Bill 400 raised it in 2026, so the payment due June 1, 2027 is the first at the new amount. A late payment costs $200 plus interest, and an LLC that stays unpaid loses its certificate of formation.

Three answers to start. Refine it after.

What kind of organization is it?

An LLC's tax treatment decides which federal return it files. Choose the line that matches yours. Nonprofits are covered too.

State of formation

Employees

Count everyone on payroll. An S corporation's working owners are employees: they are paid a salary.

Where is it based? The state of the office, or of most of the people

Most Delaware companies are based in another state and owe that state's filings too. If that is you, pick it here.

More about the company: other states, payroll, dates, abroad

Company name

Date registered in each other state

Optional. Some states key their report to the day you registered there rather than your date of formation; without it, the formation date stands in and the calendar says so.

Who runs payroll?

Fiscal year ends in

Date of formation

Needed for states that key filings to the anniversary of formation.

Annual revenue
