Deadline

New Hampshire Secretary of State says the annual report is due by April 1 each year. Report information is completed as of January 1, so the filing should reflect the company’s current information for that reporting year.

Why the deadline matters

The late fee cannot be waived according to the Secretary of State FAQ. A domestic business that does not file and pay by April 1 can be placed in a not-in-good-standing status; after two consecutive years of failure, the office may administratively dissolve the business.

What the annual report is not

The annual report is not:

Federal income tax return
New Hampshire Business Profits Tax return
Business Enterprise Tax return
Meals and Rooms monthly return
NHES wage and tax report
Registered agent service payment
Operating agreement
