New Jersey LLC Annual Report: $75, Anniversary Month (2026)
New Jersey's annual report runs on your LLC's own anniversary month — not a fixed date shared statewide — and it's online only, no mail option. Here's the full playbook and a calculator for your exact deadline.
Every New Jersey LLC files an annual report with the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, online only — there is no mail filing option. The fee is $75 (plus a ~$3 card processing fee), due by the last day of your LLC's anniversary month — the month it was originally formed. Your first report is due the year after formation. Miss it for two consecutive years and New Jersey can revoke your LLC. The Division mails one courtesy reminder to your registered agent.

What the New Jersey Annual Report Is
A compliance confirmation, not a financial disclosure. The annual report confirms your LLC's current information: registered agent, registered office, and principal business address. No revenue data. Its defining features:
- $75, plus a small card processing fee (typically around $3).
- Anniversary-month deadline — due by the last day of the month your LLC was originally formed, not a date shared with every other New Jersey LLC.
- Online only — filed through njportal.com; there is no mail-in option for this specific filing.
- Separate from the LLC Partner Tax — multi-member LLCs owe both this $75 report and the $150/member tax, filed with different agencies.

How to File in 10 Minutes
Find your formation date
Check your stamped Certificate of Formation, or search your LLC on the state's business entity search for the "incorporated date."
Go to the Online Annual Reports page
Enter your NJ Business Entity Identification Number, found on your approved Certificate.
Confirm your information and pay $75
Update your registered agent or address if anything changed. Pay online — there's no mail option for this filing.
Online only — no fallback: unlike states that let you mail in a paper report, New Jersey requires the annual report to be filed online at njportal.com, full stop. Keep your login credentials somewhere durable, since there's no alternate path if you can't access the portal.
If You Miss the Deadline
Out of good standing
Your LLC's status changes with the Division of Revenue. Financing or deals can stall while you're not in good standing.
Two consecutive years: revocation risk
Failing to file for two consecutive years can lead to administrative revocation — your liability shield's legal foundation, gone.
Reinstatement
You'll owe all outstanding delinquent annual report fees, an appropriate reinstatement fee, and potentially need a tax clearance certificate — always more than staying current.
Never-Miss Tips
- File the moment your reminder arrives — don't wait until the last week of your anniversary month.
- Set a recurring reminder tied to your actual anniversary month — not a generic date, since New Jersey's deadline is unique to your LLC.
- Keep your registered agent address current so the Division's courtesy reminder actually reaches you.
- Verify the notice is legitimate — if a mailer doesn't explicitly say "State of New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services," treat it with suspicion.
Ahmad Adil's Take: New Jersey's anniversary-month system is the piece I see catch people most often, because it's genuinely different from the fixed-date deadlines most other states use — you can't just remember "it's due April 15" the way you might elsewhere in this series. My fix is the same one I give in every anniversary-month state: the day your Certificate is approved, calendar next year's deadline using your exact formation month, and treat the courtesy reminder as a backup, not your primary system. New Jersey also skips the mail fallback entirely, so make sure you can actually log into njportal.com well before the deadline rather than discovering an access problem the week it's due.
