The annual report is a filing required by the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutionsto confirm your LLC's current information — registered agent, principal address, and members or managers. It's not a financial report or tax return. Think of it as a simple check-in that says "yes, this business still exists and here's our current info."
In Wisconsin, your annual report is due By anniversary quarter each year. Missing this deadline can result in late fees and, eventually, administrative dissolution of your LLC. The Department of Financial Institutions will not send you a reminder in most cases.
Before you start, have the following ready:
Visit the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions filing portal at www.wdfi.org. Search for your LLC, select the annual report option, confirm or update your information, and pay the $25 filing fee.
After filing, download or print the confirmation. Set a calendar reminder for next year's deadline so you don't forget.
If you fail to file your annual report in Wisconsin, your LLC can face:
Reinstatement after dissolution is possible in most cases but costs more than just filing on time.
Graduated income tax up to 7.65%.
