An LLC Annual Statement and a corporation Annual Report are different filings.
Articles of Organization

Annual Statement and first-year timing
LLCs generally file by February 15. A company formed or qualified after September 30 skips the immediately following February filing. Check the formation date before assigning the first due year.

Before requesting help
What Details Do You Need for a Michigan LLC Filing?
Have these details ready before you ask us to help with the filing.
- Proposed company details or the exact registered name and state record.
- Formation or qualification date, entity category and first Annual Statement year.
- Current registered-office and resident-agent information.
- Prior annual filings, record-change requests and any loss-of-standing notice.
Know which filing you need
Check the LLC category before using a reporting reminder.
Standard LLCs, professional LLCs and corporations have different annual requirements.
- First-year timing
- Check the actual formation or qualification date against the after-September-30 exception. A generic first-February reminder can select the wrong year.
- Current portal and company record
- Use the MiBusiness Registry Portal for annual filing. Review the record, office and agent details before preparing the requested submission.
A company Annual Statement does not complete income-tax returns, professional licensing or other business registrations.
Questions answered
Michigan LLC and Annual Statement questions
Can FormLLC help with Michigan LLC formation?
Share the proposed company and requested setup work with FormLLC. We will confirm the accepted service, information needed and separate government or provider charges before you proceed.
What does Michigan call an LLC annual filing?
A standard LLC files an Annual Statement. Corporations file Annual Reports, while professional LLCs have their own annual reporting requirements. Use the company’s actual category.
When is the first Michigan LLC Annual Statement due?
The general deadline is February 15 after formation or qualification. If formation or qualification occurs after September 30, the immediately following February statement is not required. Confirm the actual due year on the company record.
What is the Michigan LLC Annual Statement fee?
LARA lists $25 for a standard LLC. It lists $75 for a professional LLC’s annual filing. Do not apply the ordinary LLC fee to a professional entity.
Can a Michigan annual filing still be mailed on paper?
LARA’s current Corporations Division notice says annual reports and annual statements must be submitted online. It directs filers to the MiBusiness Registry Portal.
Is the Michigan Annual Statement a business tax return?
No. LARA distinguishes company annual reporting from filing taxes. Identify the company-record task and any separately required tax or licensing work when discussing support.
