Small businesses must file an annual report to the PA Dept of State
Starting in 2025, small business owners in Pennsylvania are required to file an annual report to the Pennsylvania Department of State. This is different from the federal beneficial ownership reporting requirements. This report is required by state law.
The fee for the new annual report is $7 for business corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), and limited liability general partnerships (LLPS), with a $0 fee for nonprofit corporations and any LPs or LLCs with a not-for-profit purpose.
The deadline for filing the annual report is based on the type of association:
| Association Type |
Filing Dates |
| Corporations (business and nonprofit)/domestic and foreign | January 1 – June 30 |
| Limited liability companies/domestic and foreign | January 1 – September 30 |
| Limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, business trusts, professional associations/domestic and foreign | January 1 – December 30 |
The annual report must include information such as your business name, registered office address, names and titles of principal officers, and more.
For more information on annual reports, please visit dos.pa.gov/AnnualReports.
