New Hampshire LLC Annual Report: $100, Due April 1 (2026)
New Hampshire's annual report gives you a genuinely generous three-month window — file any time between January 1 and April 1. Here's the full playbook, the flat $50 late fee, and a calculator for your exact deadline and status.
New Hampshire LLC Annual Reports are due April 1; filing opens January 1. The state report fee is $100, with applicable online payment/service charges shown at checkout. The first report is generally due the following year; confirm the entity’s record. A $50 late fee applies after April 1, and continued nonfiling can lead to administrative dissolution.

What the New Hampshire Annual Report Is
A compliance confirmation, not a financial disclosure. The annual report confirms your LLC's current information: registered agent, principal office address, and management. No revenue data. Its defining features:
- $100 ($102 online) — a straightforward, predictable annual cost.
- A full three-month window — January 1 through April 1, more lead time than many states' fixed single-day deadlines.
- Filed through NH QuickStart — online, or by mail with the same form.
- A flat $50 late fee — not a percentage, so the penalty is predictable if you do miss it.

File in January, not late March: the window opens January 1, and filing early avoids the technical hiccups — login problems, payment errors, record mismatches — that tend to cluster right before the April 1 deadline as everyone rushes at once. There's no advantage to waiting, and a three-month window gives you plenty of room to do it whenever is convenient in Q1.
If You Miss April 1
Not in Good Standing
Your LLC's status changes with the Secretary of State, and a flat $50 late fee applies on top of the $100/$102 filing fee, for $150 total.
Two consecutive years: dissolution risk
Failing to file for two consecutive years can lead to administrative dissolution — your liability shield's legal foundation, gone.
Cure
File the overdue report plus the $50 late fee to restore Good Standing status.
Never-Miss Tips
- File in January — the moment the window opens, before the late-March rush.
- Set a recurring calendar reminder for January 1 with a hard deadline of April 1.
- Keep your registered agent information current so the Secretary of State's courtesy reminder actually reaches you.
- Let a service handle it — many commercial registered agents track and file the annual report as part of their fee.
Ahmad Adil's Take: New Hampshire's three-month filing window is one of the most forgiving deadlines in this whole series, and I still see founders wait until the last week of March out of pure habit — treating a 90-day window like a single hard date. My advice is simple: file the same week you get the courtesy reminder in January, while it's fresh in your inbox or mailbox. You lose nothing by filing early, and you sidestep the portal slowdowns and payment glitches that tend to show up right before April 1 when everyone else procrastinates the same way.
