Missouri LLC Annual Report

Last updated:

Missouri does not require LLCs to file a recurring annual report. Here is what that means and which obligations remain.

Missouri does not require LLCs to file a recurring annual report with the state, which makes it one of the lighter jurisdictions for ongoing compliance. That does not mean zero obligations: you still need to keep your registered agent current, pay any applicable taxes, and follow any tax-agency filing rules.

What the report is for

In states that do require reports, the filing updates addresses, managers, and the registered agent. In Missouri, keeping the public record accurate falls to amendments and agent-change filings made when something actually changes.

Filing feeNot applicable
Cost per year, averaged$0
National median cost per year$35

When it is due

There is no annual report deadline for Missouri LLCs. Set a yearly reminder anyway to review your registered agent, addresses, and tax registrations.

What information to have ready

  • LLC name and state file number
  • Principal office and mailing addresses
  • Names and addresses of managers or members, depending on the state
  • Registered agent name and street address
  • Officer or organizer signature and contact details

Late and missed filings

Because no report is due, there is no report penalty. Late tax filings, expired registered agents, and unpaid entity-level taxes are the risks to watch.
