Georgia Annual Report Questions
Are there initial reports required in Georgia?
Yes, all new domestic corporations and nonprofits must file an initial report within 90 days after formation. However, if you form your business after October 1, you will only submit one annual report between January 1 and April 1. There is a $60 filing fee for corporations and a $40 filing fee for nonprofits. Other business entities do not have initial report requirements.
What happens if I miss the filing deadline?
Georgia charges a $25 late fee for failing to file your annual report on time. If you are more than 60 days late, your business will be administratively dissolved, which can affect your ability to conduct business and require costly reinstatement.
How long does it take for Georgia to process the annual report?
Online submissions are processed immediately. Mailed or in-person filings typically take 10-15 business days to process. For an additional $120, you can choose expedited processing within two business days.
Who can file a Georgia Annual Report?
Any authorized person may sign and file the Georgia Annual Report. An authorized person is someone the business permits to act on its behalf, such as a director, manager, or a third-party service provider like BB File.
Can I make changes after submitting my annual report?
Yes, you can file an Amended Annual Registration if you need to change information after submission. The amendment costs $30 to file and can be submitted at any point during the year after your annual report is filed.
Do Georgia Annual Reports require original signatures?
No, Georgia accepts copies of original documents and signatures for annual report submissions.
