What your New Jersey LLC owes the state every year to stay in good standing — and what happens when the report doesn't get filed.
New Jersey requires every LLC to file a annual report with the New Jersey Division of Revenue. The report confirms basic information — LLC name, principal office address, registered agent, members or managers — and pays a $75 state fee.
Filing is online through the New Jersey Division of Revenue's portal at njportal.com. It typically takes less than ten minutes and is processed the same day.
New Jersey imposes a per-member Partnership Filing Fee of $150 per member, capped at $250,000, for LLCs with more than two members (due with the NJ-1065 return). Single-member and two-member LLCs are exempt from the per-member fee. The state also requires a $75 annual report on the anniversary of formation.
New Jersey doesn't forgive late reports indefinitely. The typical sequence when a report isn't filed on time:
The New Jersey Division of Revenue assesses a state-imposed late fee, typically within 30 days of the missed deadline.
Your LLC's public status changes from "active" to "not in good standing" or the New Jersey equivalent. Banks, vendors, and counterparties can see this.
If the lapse continues (usually 60–180 days, varies by state), the New Jersey Division of Revenue administratively dissolves the LLC. Your liability shield can be pierced for activities during the dissolved period.
To bring the LLC back, you pay the missed report fee, the late fee, and a New Jersey reinstatement fee. The LLC comes back but the gap in good standing remains on the public record.
Every customer gets annual compliance reminders 60, 30, and 7 days before the New Jersey report due date. Each reminder includes a one-click link to file through the New Jersey Division of Revenue's portal. We don't auto-file on your behalf and we don't store payment information between years — you retain control — but you will not miss the deadline because you forgot.
If you want the filing done for you, we offer a separate New Jersey annual report filing service billed separately from registered agent renewal. Ask your formation specialist about it when the reminder lands.
Report fees don't change often, but when they do, we update the reminder copy. New Jersey's report is filed every year. The registered agent must remain current. If you move, or your registered agent changes, file the change promptly — don't wait for the annual report to fold it in.
Reservation takes three minutes. A formation specialist in Trenton handles the rest.
