Missouri Annual Reports: Not a Thing for LLCs

No. That is the answer. A Missouri LLC files no annual report, pays no recurring report fee, and has no report deadline on its calendar. Only three other states (Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio) treat LLCs this way, and Missouri also imposes no franchise tax on them.

Where the No Comes From

Missouri's LLC statute, Chapter 347, RSMo, contains no annual or periodic report provision. The recurring registration report Missouri is known for belongs to Chapter 351, the corporation law, and its reach stops at corporations. No comparable duty was ever written into the LLC act, so there is nothing for an LLC to file.

Annual Report Fee for a Missouri LLC: $0

Zero. No base fee, no late fee, no franchise tax. Compare that to the $25 to $800 a year LLCs hand over in most other states and the math tilts toward Missouri quickly. The state's one-time formation fee ($50 online, $105 by mail) is the last thing the Secretary of State charges a standard LLC.

Corporations Are a Different Story

Missouri corporations do file. Their Corporate Registration Report comes due every year in the anniversary month of incorporation, at $15 electronically or $40 on paper, with a biennial option under RSMo 351.122. Filing late attaches a $15 late fee, and continued failure invites administrative dissolution under RSMo 351.486. Nonprofit corporations run on a fixed calendar instead: August 31, every year. The state's business FAQ pages cover the corporate side in detail. LLCs can ignore all of it.

What Stays on a Missouri LLC's List

1. Registered agent, always. RSMo 347.030 requires a registered agent and Missouri registered office continuously. A lapse can end in administrative dissolution, making this the obligation that actually matters.
2. Change filings. A new agent or new registered office means a statement of change filed with the Secretary of State ($10).
3. Amendments. Edits to the articles themselves, a rename for instance, go in as Articles of Amendment.
4. Taxes. Department of Revenue obligations (sales tax, withholding, pass-through income) continue as usual. They are tax filings, not reports.
