Businesses Must File Annual State Reports Beginning 2025

HARRISBURG - On November 3, 2022, Governor Wolf signed into law Act 122 of 2022. Among the many changes made by this legislation, Act 122 created an annual reporting requirement (like that imposed by most states) for most domestic and foreign filing associations (businesses).

The new Annual Report filing begins in calendar year 2025. The long-time decennial report requirement has been repealed. 

NOTE: This is a new STATE requirement and is not connected to the federal Beneficial Ownership Information reports discussed here.

Similar again to other states, failure to file the Annual Report will subject the association to administrative dissolution/termination/cancellation and loss of the protection of its name.

The annual report filing is required for:

• Domestic business corporations
• Domestic nonprofit corporations
• Domestic limited liability companies

• Domestic professional associations
• Domestic business trusts
• Foreign business corporations
• Foreign nonprofit corporations
• Foreign limited liability companies
• Foreign limited partnerships (including limited liability limited partnerships)
• Foreign limited liability general partnerships
• Foreign professional associations
• Foreign business trusts

When You Must File

The deadline for limited liability companies (domestic and foreign) is September 30, and the annual report of any other domestic filing entity or foreign filing association is due on or before December 31 of each year.
