Penalties and Interest Calculations Non-compliance by an LLC
Your annual report is due by the last day of the month prior to your initial formation month (i.e. if your formation date in Illinois was January 15, 2019, your annual report due date would be December 31, 2020).
If not filed on time, sixty days past your annual report due date, you will receive a notice that states if you do not comply your entity will be administratively dissolved in 60 days. At this point your late penalty is $100.00 on top of your annual report fee of $75.00, which also requires the submission of the annual report (form LLC 50.1).
If you do not file the annual report at this point, the state will begin the process to administratively dissolve your company and you will receive notice of this immediately after the 60 days previously mentioned have lapsed. Reinstating a company after administrative dissolution is an additional $200.00 filing fee associated with the filing of the form LLC 35.40 / 45.65 plus the $100.00 penalty and the filing of the form LLC 50.1 as well as the $75.00 owed for annual report fee and filing. The reinstatement process is expensive and time consuming.
Penalties and Interest Calculations – Non-compliance by a Corporation
Your annual report is due by the last day of the month prior to your initial formation month (i.e., if your formation date in Illinois was January 15, 2023, your annual report due date would be December 31, 2023).
To determine the penalty accrued to a late filed annual report, multiply the corporation’s franchise tax by 10% (.10) per month. To determine the interest due on a late filed annual report, multiply the corporation’s franchise tax by 2% (.02) per month. The amount due
to the Secretary of State will be the sum of the total penalty and the total interest added together with the corporation’s franchise tax. Payment and acceptance of the annual report by the Secretary of State will bring your company back into good standing.
Failure to file an annual report within thirty days past your annual report due date will trigger a notice of delinquency. Failure to act upon this notification will trigger a second notice 120 days after your annual report due date that the corporation in non-compliance will be administratively dissolved.
To bring your company back into good standing after being administratively dissolved, the corporation must file form BCA 12.45/13.6 Application for Reinstatement Domestic/Foreign Corporation together with the annual report and pay the accrued penalties and interest
as well along with the franchise tax due for each year the corporation failed to file their annual report.
