Illinois Annual Report

LLC, corporation or non-profit — we'll file it for you. $75 state fee + $50 for an LLC, filed within one business day.

USTAXX Consulting Services is a private tax and business firm in Naperville. We are not the Illinois Secretary of State and are not affiliated with any government agency. You are never required to use us — you can file it yourself at ilsos.gov for the $75 state fee.

Tell us about your business

We'll confirm by email within one business day.

What kind of business is it?

Eight digits, printed on your letter just above your name. You can also look it up free at ilsos.gov.

Which would you like?

No payment is taken here. We check your filing status with the State first — if your report is already filed, we'll tell you and charge nothing. If you're a corporation, we'll confirm your franchise tax amount before anything is charged.

Is my report due?

Every Illinois LLC, corporation and non-profit files an annual report before the first day of its anniversary month — the month it was formed — every year. The State's filing fee is $75.

Corporations: the $75 is the filing fee only. Illinois also charges franchise tax, calculated from your paid-in capital, so your total depends on your own figures. We work it out and tell you the exact amount before anything is charged.

3. We become your registered agent

Filing included — no separate service fee

We track the deadline and file every year, so there's no next letter to act on. State and legal notices go to our Naperville office instead of your home address, and we forward them to you the same day.

Questions

Is this a government website?

No. This is USTAXX Consulting Services, a private firm in Naperville. The Illinois Secretary of State's website is ilsos.gov.

I have a corporation, not an LLC. Is it the same?

The filing fee is the same $75 and the deadline works the same way, but corporations also owe Illinois franchise tax, calculated from paid-in capital on form BCA 14.05. That means your total isn't a number anyone can put on a web page — it depends on your own figures. Send the form and we'll work it out and tell you before charging anything. Non-profits file an annual report too.

Can I just do this myself?

Yes, and for many people that's the right answer. It's $75 at ilsos.gov and takes about ten minutes.

What is a registered agent, and why would I want you to be mine?

Every Illinois LLC must name someone to receive legal and state notices at a physical Illinois address during business hours. If you formed the LLC yourself, that's probably your home — so it's on the public record, and a lawsuit or state notice arrives there. As your agent we receive those at our office and forward them the same day, and we file the annual report each year.

What if I've already filed?

Tell us in the form and we'll verify it with the State. If it's filed, we'll say so and charge you nothing. We check before charging anyone.

What if my LLC has already been dissolved?

Reinstatement is a different process with its own fees. Send the form or call us and we'll quote it before doing anything.
