Question	Mississippi answer
Annual report required?	Yes

Filing method	Online through Secretary of State portal
Is it a tax return?	No
Misleading mailers exist?	Yes, SOS has warned about them

Deadline

Mississippi Secretary of State says domestic LLC annual reports are due by April 15. Treat that as a real compliance deadline even though the filing is free.

Fee

Domestic Mississippi LLC annual reports are free through the official Secretary of State portal. This is why a private mailer charging for annual report filing can be confusing. It may be an optional private service, not the state fee.

What the annual report is not

The annual report is not:

Federal income tax return
Mississippi income tax return
Sales tax return
Withholding return
Unemployment report
Registered agent service payment
Operating agreement

Practical note

Treat the recurring filing as a company-record task, not just a payment. Save the confirmation, receipt, and any updated entity record after filing. If a lender, payment processor, marketplace, or counterparty asks whether the LLC is active, those records can be faster to produce than trying to reconstruct the filing history later.
