What is the Connecticut LLC annual report?
Connecticut requires the Annual Report every year. The Connecticut LLC annual report fee pays the Connecticut Secretary of the State to update your addresses, registered agent, and managers.
It is not a federal tax return, and it is not a city or county business license.
Connecticut also has a separate tax obligation (Business Entity Tax repealed; PE tax may apply). That is not part of this report. An accountant or tax software handles it.
Who must file in Connecticut?
- LLCs formed in Connecticut
- LLCs formed elsewhere and registered to do business in Connecticut
You still file if nothing changed since the last report.

What happens if you miss it
Missing the deadline can add a late penalty on top of the report fee. The Connecticut Secretary of the State can also mark the LLC not in good standing, and after enough missed reports it can dissolve the company.
Banks and other states can refuse to work with an LLC that is not in good standing.
After you file
Save the confirmation the day you file. Banks and other states may ask for it.
If someone needs official proof, order a certificate of good standing from Connecticut while the record is current.
The next report is due on the same date next year. Keep your Connecticut registered agent active so state mail still reaches you.
