New Jersey annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. New Jersey reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open New Jersey filing agency ↗New Jersey LLC reports
New Jersey LLC annual reports cost $75.00 and are due annually by the last day of the anniversary month unless the entity record states otherwise. The report updates current officers/members, principal address, registered agent, and public business information. Failure can cause loss of good standing, tax-clearance difficulty, and administrative action.
New Jersey corporation reports
New Jersey corporate annual reports cost $75.00 and are not eligible for expedited service. The report updates officers, directors, business address, and registered agent and is due on the annual schedule shown by DORES. It is separate from New Jersey CBT, payroll, sales, and other tax filings.
New Jersey franchise and business taxes
New Jersey imposes Corporation Business Tax (CBT), administered by the Division of Taxation, rather than a Secretary-of-State authorized-share franchise fee. CBT can include a corporation income component, minimum tax, and apportionment rules based on New Jersey activity and receipts. LLCs classified as corporations may also have CBT obligations; annual-report fees are separate.
A registry report and a tax filing can have different deadlines and payment recipients. Check both before considering the year complete.
Late fees and missed-report penalties
The reviewed New Jersey fee schedule identifies the $75.00 annual report but does not provide one universal late-report surcharge for every entity. Delinquency can affect good standing, tax clearance, and administrative status; the live DORES account calculates any penalty or interest. Tax penalties and CBT interest are separate.
Administrative dissolution and notices
New Jersey may revoke or dissolve an entity for missing annual reports, fees, registered-agent requirements, or tax-clearance obligations. Statutory notices and entity-specific schedules control the warning and cure period rather than one universal day count. Revocation risks authority, good standing, service, contracting, and reinstatement expense.
Reinstate a New Jersey business
Search DORES, identify missed reports and agent defects, file all delinquent annual reports, correct the registered office/agent, and submit the reinstatement-of-charter filing. Corporate reinstatement is $95.00 and LLC reinstatement is $75.00, plus reports, taxes, penalties, interest, and any required $20 tax-clearance certificate. Confirm active status after acceptance.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
New Jersey reinstatement is $95.00 for corporations and $75.00 for LLCs under the current schedule, plus each delinquent $75 annual report and any tax-clearance, CBT, sales, payroll, penalty, and interest amounts. The Department of Taxation's balances are separate from DORES filing fees.
