Usually, the state provides a grace period, which may be several months up to a year or so, to get your annual statement filed. If you miss the deadline, call the Corporate Filing Office (usually the secretary of state’s office) and ask them how to get reinstated. Usually, it’s just a matter of filling out a form and paying a late fee.
Important Note: If your corporation is administratively suspended or dissolved, the liability protection of your corporation may also be suspended or lacking, and your personal assets may be at risk for any legal actions or causes of action that might arise during that period of time. It is important not to let this happen when it is relatively easy to get your annual report form filed.
