The New Jersey annual report is a required filing for all registered business entities. It provides the state with updated information about your company’s leadership, registered agent, and office address. Filing is necessary to remain in good standing and avoid penalties.
Who Must File?
New Jersey LLCs – Domestic and foreign LLCs must file their annual report by the last day of their anniversary month, starting the year after formation.
Corporations – Domestic and foreign corporations must also file by the end of their anniversary month.
Nonprofit Corporations – Required to file annually under the same timeline.
Limited Partnerships (LPs) and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) – Must submit annual reports to maintain registration and legal status.
Filing Deadlines for New Jersey Businesses
All New Jersey business entities have anniversary-based deadlines, meaning your report is due by the last day of your formation month, starting the year after you registered.
