- Delaware keeps taking the late report, with the penalty and interest, through December 31 of the report year. The LLC falls out of good standing the day after June 1, the penalty and interest keep growing, and Delaware cancels the certificate of formation after three unpaid years.
The 2026 Annual Tax was due June 1, 2026; Delaware still takes it with the state's penalty and interest through December 31, 2026. The 2027 window opens January 1, 2027 and closes June 1, 2027.
Updated November 1, 2026. The fee, the deadline and the penalty above are Delaware's own, from the state's published schedule and statute, and the penalty is paid to the state, not to us. Every state's report is listed on the annual report directory.

What the Delaware Form Asks
Delaware takes the Annual Tax online at icis.corp.delaware.gov, with no account needed. It is run by the Delaware Division of Corporations, the office that keeps the company's record.
The Annual Tax confirms what the state has on file for the LLC: the principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members (some states' screens say governors, officials or principals). Anything that changed since the last filing is updated on it, and an authorized person signs it electronically before the state fee is paid.
Formed this year?
An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Tax for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due June 1, 2027.
Have ready before you start
- The company's exact legal name as Delaware registered it
- Its Delaware file or entity number, from the state's record or the formation approval
- The principal office street address and the mailing address, if different
- The registered agent's name and Delaware street address
- The names and addresses of the managers or members on record
- The name and title of the person signing, and a card for the state fee
Our order form asks for the same items, in the same order the Delaware screens do.

| Formed | First Annual Tax due | After that |
|---|---|---|

How to File It Yourself
1. Open the Delaware filing site
The Annual Tax is filed with the Delaware Division of Corporations at icis.corp.delaware.gov. No account is needed. Delaware takes it January 1 to June 1.
2. Find your company
Look it up by its Delaware file or entity number, the number on the company's Delaware record, not by name alone. Two companies can have near-identical names, and a report filed under the wrong number files the wrong company's report.
3. Confirm or update the details
The principal office and mailing address, the registered agent and registered office, and the managers or members on record. Anything that changed since the last filing goes in now; a new registered agent is a separate change filing in Delaware.
4. Sign and pay the state
Sign as an authorized person and pay Delaware's fee ($400 for an LLC). Save the confirmation; it is your proof of filing until the state's record shows the report.
Rather skip the state's site? We file it for you, and the state's confirmation comes to your inbox. To file it yourself, start at the Delaware filing site.
| File it yourself | Have it filed | |
|---|---|---|
| Account | None needed | None needed |
| Finding the company | You enter the Delaware file or entity number | We look up the record and match it to your order |
| The details | You retype the addresses, the agent and the managers or members on the state's screens | You confirm them once on our form; we check them against the Delaware record before filing |
| Signing | An authorized person signs electronically | You authorize the filing at checkout and name the signer; the state's signature line is completed the way the state allows |
| State fee | Paid to the state by card at the end | Paid to the state on your behalf and itemized on the order review step |
| Timing | Any time the window is open (January 1 to June 1) | Order any time; a report the state is not taking yet is held and filed the day the window opens |
| Confirmation | Shown on screen; save it yourself | The state's confirmation is emailed to you and kept on your order page |
| Registered agent change | A separate change filing with the Delaware Division of Corporations | Chosen on the order form; we file the change with the report order |
- Registered agent and registered office
- The person or company at a Delaware street address that receives lawsuits and state notices for the LLC; a post office box does not qualify, and the agent's address is public.
- Principal office and mailing address
- Where the business is run, and the address the state should write to if that differs; both appear on the public record.
- Managers or members
- Who runs the LLC. The Annual Tax lists them, usually with a business address for each, and some state screens call them governors, officials or principals.
- Delaware file or entity number
- The number Delaware gave the company when it was formed. It is on the approved formation document and on the state's business search, and it is how the filing finds the right record.
- Good standing, dissolution and reinstatement
- Good standing is the status a company keeps by filing on time. Administrative dissolution (some states say revocation or forfeiture) is what the state does to one that stops filing, and reinstatement is the filing that brings it back, with the missed reports and fees.
What Goes Wrong on the Delaware Annual Tax
- Filing an Annual Tax for the year the LLC was formed: a company formed in 2026 owes its first in 2027, and the state is not waiting for one before that.
- Filing before the window opens on January 1: Delaware does not take the new report year before then.
- Looking the company up by name instead of its Delaware file or entity number: two companies can carry near-identical names, and the report then updates the wrong record.
- Trying to change the registered agent on the Annual Tax: Delaware takes the agent change as its own filing, before or after the report.
- Waiting too long: Delaware keeps taking the late report, with the penalty and interest, through December 31 of the report year. The LLC falls out of good standing the day after June 1, the penalty and interest keep growing, and Delaware cancels the certificate of formation after three unpaid years.
After you file
icis.corp.delaware.gov shows a confirmation and sends a receipt to the filer's email; keep it with the company's records, because it is the proof of filing until the Delaware Division of Corporations posts the Annual Tax to the public record. Once posted, the company's status on the Delaware business search stays active, which is what a bank, a lender, a landlord or a licensing board checks before it opens an account, extends credit or renews a license. A certificate of status or good standing, where one of them asks for paper proof, is a separate document the state issues on request. The next thing the Delaware business registry expects is the next Annual Tax, a year later; taxes and licenses run on their own calendars with other agencies.
Changing Your Registered Agent
Delaware's Annual Tax confirms the registered agent on record but does not replace it. A new agent is its own change-of-agent filing with the Delaware Division of Corporations, filed before or after the report.
Registered agent service through America LLC Filing
Our registered agent partner's Delaware address goes on the public record instead of yours, and legal and state mail is scanned and forwarded the same business day. We file Delaware's change-of-agent form for you with the report order. Choose it on the order form.
File my report and switch my agent →How our registered agent service worksDelaware Annual Tax: Questions
Can I file the Delaware Annual Tax online?+
Yes. Delaware takes it online through the Delaware Division of Corporations (icis.corp.delaware.gov), with no account needed. If you would rather not, we file it for you: one short form with your company's details, and we submit it to the state.
When is the Delaware Annual Tax due?+
June 1 each year. Delaware takes it January 1 to June 1. The next deadline is June 1, 2027. Order any time: if Delaware is not accepting the report yet, we hold it and file it the day the state opens.
What if I missed the Delaware deadline?+
Delaware adds a $200 penalty plus 1.5% interest a month on the annual LLC tax. Delaware keeps taking the late report, with the penalty and interest, through December 31 of the report year. The LLC falls out of good standing the day after June 1, the penalty and interest keep growing, and Delaware cancels the certificate of formation after three unpaid years. We file late reports while the state still takes them; the state's penalty, where there is one, is paid to the state with its fee.
Is the Delaware Annual Tax every year?+
Every year. The deadline is June 1, and it does not move with the calendar: a weekend or holiday deadline is still the deadline unless Delaware says otherwise, so file ahead of it.
My LLC was formed this year. Do I file an Annual Tax?+
Not this year. An LLC formed in 2026 owes no Annual Tax for 2026; its first is the 2027 report, due June 1, 2027. A report filed for the formation year is not required, and the state's system will either refuse it or treat it as next year's.
What do I need to file it?+
The company's exact legal name and its Delaware file or entity number, the principal and mailing address, the registered agent on record, and the managers or members. We ask for the same on our order form, so nothing is missing when we file.
Do I need an account on icis.corp.delaware.gov?+
No. The Delaware filing site takes the Annual Tax without an account; you start from the company's Delaware file or entity number and pay at the end. When we file for you, we start from the same number.
Can I change my Delaware registered agent at the same time?+
Yes. Delaware takes the agent change as its own filing, separate from the Annual Tax; choose our registered agent service on our order form and we file that change for you with the report order, so our partner's Delaware address replaces yours on the record.
Is America LLC Filing the Delaware state office?+
No. America LLC Filing is a private filing service, not a government agency and not a law firm, and it is not affiliated with Delaware. The state's fee is the same whether you file at icis.corp.delaware.gov yourself or we file for you.
