Kentucky requires most business entities to file an annual report with the Kentucky Secretary of State. Understanding these requirements helps you avoid penalties and keep your business in good standing.
An annual report is a filing that updates the state on your entity's current information. It confirms your business address, principal officers, registered office, and registered agent. The Kentucky Secretary of State uses this information to maintain accurate records and ensure they can contact your business when needed.
Filing your annual report keeps your entity active and compliant. If you fail to file, the state may:
Regular filing ensures your business remains in good standing and avoids these complications.
Filing Frequency: Annual Fee: $15 Due Date: June 30 (typically) Where to File: Kentucky Secretary of State at sos.ky.gov
Kentucky's $15 annual report fee is one of the lowest in the nation. The filing is typically due June 30 each year, though your specific deadline may vary based on when your entity was formed or your fiscal year.
Your annual report typically includes:
You'll confirm that this information is current or update it if anything has changed since your last filing.
In addition to the annual report, Kentucky imposes a Limited Liability Entity Tax (LLET) on gross receipts and revenues. The minimum tax is $175 annually. This is separate from the $15 annual report fee.
The LLET applies to most LLCs, limited partnerships, and certain other entities. You'll file and pay this tax separately from the annual report, though both are part of your annual compliance obligations.
Missing your annual report deadline can lead to:
Late Fees The state may charge additional fees for late filings. The longer you wait, the more you may owe.
Administrative Dissolution Your entity may be administratively dissolved, which can affect your ability to conduct business, open bank accounts, or enter contracts.
Reinstatement Costs If your entity is dissolved for non-filing, you'll need to file reinstatement paperwork and pay additional fees to restore good standing.
Legal Complications Operating a business that's not in good standing can create liability issues and complicate legal protections your entity structure provides.
For $99 per year, we provide registered agent service and compliance support. We track your annual report deadlines and send reminders before they're due. This gives you time to gather the necessary information and file on time.
We also receive any notices from the Kentucky Secretary of State regarding your filing status. If the state sends a delinquency notice or reminder, we scan it and upload it to your portal the same day, ensuring you don't miss critical information.
Our service includes:
You can file online through the Kentucky Secretary of State's website or submit a paper form by mail. Online filing is typically faster and more convenient.
The $15 filing fee is one of the most affordable in the nation, making Kentucky an attractive state for business formation and operation.
