What to review each year
Use the annual report as a compliance checkpoint for:
- Registered agent and registered office
- Principal business address
- Business description and NAICS code
- Company name and entity number
- Rhode Island tax accounts
- Employer accounts and payroll obligations
- City, county, and professional licenses
The annual report keeps the Department of State record current. It does not file tax returns or pay the $400 minimum tax.
Online filing
Rhode Island allows annual reports to be filed online, by mail, or in person. The online route is convenient, but the state lists additional electronic or enhanced-access charges. Use the current official filing screen for the amount charged at checkout.
What happens if the report is missed
The state lists a $25 late filing penalty after the filing period. Entities that are revoked or not in good standing may need additional steps before an annual report can be filed.
