Mississippi LLC Annual Report
All Mississippi LLCs doing business in the state are required to file an Annual Report annually.
Filing this report is essential to maintain your LLC’s compliance and good standing with the state of Mississippi.
Method of Filing
The Annual Report for your LLC can only be filed online, as there is no option for mail submissions.
Filing Fee
$0 (no fee required, but a report must be filed annually).
Due Date
Your LLC's Annual Report is due by April 15th each year.
You need to file your LLC's first annual report after it is formed. For example, if your LLC was formed on February 10, 2024, you must file the first report by April 15, 2025.

How early can it be filed?
January 1st.
Penalty
If you don't file your Annual Report by April 15th, it will be considered late. The state will then send a warning letter urging you to file as soon as possible to avoid administrative dissolution (shutting down your LLC). If you fail to respond, the state will issue an Intent Notice, and your LLC will eventually be dissolved.
Reminders
The state sends email reminders 1-3 months before the due date to the address you provided when you filed your Certificate of Formation.
