Spent an hour trying to find the annual report filing deadline on the Secretary of State site. It's buried under three submenus and a PDF from 2019. Is it April 1 or April 15? I have different dates written on two different sticky notes. Anyone know the real date?
State Filing
The state website doesn't make the filing deadline obvious
Ha, I have the same two sticky notes. I finally called the office and the lady said it's April 15 this year. But she also sounded like she was guessing.
It's definitely April 15 for LLCs. Or is it April 1? I always file in early March just to be safe. The site is awful.
Last yera I missed it because I thought it was the 15th and it was the 1st. Got a $50 late fee. Learned my lesson.
Are you sure? I looked at the site yesterday and the main page had a big red banner about the deadline. Maybe you were on an old cached version.
No banner for me. Just a rotating carousel of stock photos of people shaking hands.
The site's search function is useless. I typed 'deadline' and got a link to the governor's bio.
I ended up downloading the PDF from 2019, and it said April 1. But then I found a 2021 PDF that said April 15. So which is it?
I think it changes depending on the year. Like Easter or something.
Wait, it changes? That's even worse.
It doesn't change.It's always April 15. I'm looking at the current page right now and it says April 15. Maybe you guys are looking at the wrong state's site?
Nope, defiinitely our state. The .gov URL and everything.
Okay I just got a reply to my email from the state. They said the deadline is April 1 for this year because of a special rule. But they also sent me a link to a page that says says April 15. I give up.
So just file by April 1. That's what I'm doing.
I'll just file March 1. Can't be late then.
That's the spirit. Thanks for nothing, state website.
