Filing Your Pennsylvania Annual Report: $7, Window Closes September 30
For $99 a year, get a Pennsylvania agent with a registered address on file, same-day scanning of legal documents, and compliance reminders before state deadlines.
The Decennial Report is history. Act 122 of 2022 replaced Pennsylvania's once-every-ten-years filing with an annual report (15 Pa.C.S. § 146) that started in 2025. Plenty of older guides have not caught up. Here is the current system, in plain terms.
What Changed Under Act 122
The old regime: one Decennial Report every ten years, with long stretches of silence in between.
The current regime: one report every year, on a single uniform form (DSCB:15-146) that every Pennsylvania entity type uses.
One holdover worth knowing: LLPs, LLLPs, and restricted professional companies still owe the separate Certificate of Annual Registration by April 15, with a fee charged per general partner or per member. Regular LLCs and corporations never file that one.
The Deadline: September 30 for LLCs
The window opens January 1 and runs through September 30. File any time inside it.
| Entity Type | Filing Window | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| LLCs (domestic and foreign) | January 1 - September 30 | September 30 |
| Corporations (profit and nonprofit) | January 1 - June 30 | June 30 |
| LPs, LLPs, LLLPs | January 1 - December 31 | December 31 |
First report: due the calendar year after your entity first registers with the Department of State.

How to File
- Pull up your entity details and confirm they are current, since the state returns reports with missing information.
- Go to Business Filing Services (file.dos.pa.gov), the Department of State's portal. The online form loads your existing record and processes immediately. Paper works too, just slower, with no expedite option.
- Check each field: name, home jurisdiction, registered office or CROP, principal office, and at least one governor (a member or manager for an LLC).
- Use real street addresses everywhere. A PO box on its own gets the filing refused (15 Pa.C.S. § 135(c)).
- Pay the $7, submit, keep the receipt.
Full state guidance lives on the Department of State annual reports page.
What Happens If You Do Not File
No late fee exists. Something worse does:
- October 1: an LLC that missed September 30 is delinquent
- Six months after the deadline (roughly March 31): administrative dissolution for domestic entities
- Foreign entities: administrative termination of the PA registration, no retroactive reinstatement, re-register from scratch under a new entity number
- Either way: the exclusive right to your business name is gone
Enforcement starts with reports not filed in 2027. The 2025 and 2026 cycles are a transition period, which makes right now the low-stakes time to build the habit.
