The same question in every other state

This requirement is set at state level, so the answer changes when you cross a state line. Below is how 19 other states answer the same question, each linked to the page that cites the agency it came from. The full breakdown is on annual report deadlines by state.

State	Answer
Connecticut	The Connecticut annual report for an LLC is due on the last day of the calendar month in which the LLC was organized. For example, if your LLC was organized on March 15th, your annual report is due by March 31st each year.
Florida	The Florida annual report is due each year between January 1 and May 1. The report becomes available on January 1, and the deadline is 11:59 p.m.
Hawaii	It is due in the calendar quarter that matches the LLC's registration date, and may be filed at any point during that quarter. The deadlines are March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
Idaho	The annual report is due by the end of the month in which the LLC was originally organized, every year. The Secretary of State sends a reminder, and you file it free through SOSBiz.
Mississippi	For-profit corporations and LLCs must file by April 15 each year, with filing available from January 1. Nonprofit corporations have until May 15.
Montana	The Montana annual report is due April 15 each year and is filed with the Secretary of State. The standard fee is $20, and a $15 late fee applies if you file after the deadline.
New Hampshire	The annual report is due April 1 each year. The deadline is the same calendar date for all registered businesses rather than an anniversary date.
New Jersey	The annual report is due each year by the last day of the month in which your business was originally formed or registered - its anniversary month. For example, an LLC formed in March files by March 31 every year.
New Mexico	The annual report for a New Mexico LLC is due by the 15th day of the third month following the end of the LLC's fiscal year. For most LLCs with a calendar fiscal year, this is March 15.
North Carolina	The annual report is due April 15 each year. The first report is due April 15 of the year following the year the LLC was formed, so an LLC created in 2026 files its first annual report by April 15, 2027.
North Dakota	The North Dakota LLC annual report is due November 15 each year, filed with the Secretary of State through FirstStop for a $50 fee. If you file late, the fee increases by a $50 penalty to $100.
Rhode Island	The Rhode Island LLC annual report is due between February 1 and May 1 each year and is filed with the Department of State for a $50 fee. Missing the window can lead to revocation of the LLC.
South Dakota	The South Dakota annual report is due by the first day of the anniversary month of your LLC's formation each year, filed with the Secretary of State. The fee is $50 online (or $65 by paper), and a $50 penalty applies to delinquent reports.
Tennessee	The annual report is due on or before the first day of the fourth month following the close of the LLC's fiscal year, which is April 1 for a calendar-year company. The fee follows the same $50-per-member formula with a $300 minimum.
Vermont	The annual report for a Vermont LLC is due by June 1 of each year, starting the year after formation. The filing fee is $35.
Washington	By the end of the LLC's anniversary month each year, with a $70 fee for profit entities. Washington also requires an Initial Report shortly after formation.
West Virginia	The Secretary of State's fee structure keys the annual report to June 30: $25 if received by that date, $75 if received after. Because the late figure includes a $50 administrative late fee, filing even a day late nearly triples the cost.
Wisconsin	A Wisconsin LLC files its annual report with DFI by the end of the calendar quarter in which it was organized. An LLC formed in February reports by March 31 each year; one formed in August reports by September 30.
Wyoming	On the first day of the anniversary month of the entity's formation, every year. An LLC formed in March files by March 1 each year.
