It takes a lot of paperwork to launch a limited liability company (LLC) in Nevada. Unfortunately, this long list of obligations could continue indefinitely — even after your articles of organization are submitted.
In the future, you’ll need to provide an annual or amended list of LLC members and managers, plus an accompanying fee. Fail to meet this requirement, and the status of your LLC could be at risk.
Struggling to keep all of your ongoing Nevada LLC requirements straight? Keep reading to learn how annual reports work in Nevada and how you can expedite this process.
An annual report is a yearly filing required for limited liability companies (LLCs). This document can serve many functions, depending on where and in what capacity it’s required. In Nevada, it’s primarily meant to verify or update the LLC’s managers or managing members.
While this yearly update is referred to as the annual report in many states, it is officially known as the annual list in Nevada. Although it holds some similarities with annual reports from other states, there are also many distinctions that warrant consideration. Still, this serves the same basic purpose wherever you go: to keep your LLC current.
As in most states, Nevada’s annual list is relatively straightforward. In fact, the process in Nevada is even more streamlined than in other states, as there is no need to include detailed explanations of your LLC’s purpose or industry.
In Nevada, the annual list is filed with the Secretary of State and can be submitted concurrently with a business license filing. In most cases, the completed filing will include the following details:
There are multiple methods available for filing Nevada’s annual or amended list. No one approach is preferred in every situation: A lot depends on when you file and which method you find most convenient.
For most LLCs, the due date for the annual list is the end of the month in which the business was originally formed or registered. For example: An LLC formed on September 15th must file its annual list by September 30th. Early filing is encouraged, with annual lists available for submission 90 days prior to the official due date. File more than 90 days early, however, and your submission will only be relevant for the prior year.
Nevada provides the opportunity to adjust the due date for its annual list. To make this change, you’ll need to submit a Statement of Alternate Due Date with the Secretary of State. This form should include the name of your LLC, as well as the proposed month for when the annual list will be due in the future. This alternate due date must occur prior to the original due date — this statement is not an opportunity to extend the deadline.
As mentioned previously, the form for the Nevada annual list is available online. If you choose to file by mail, you can either:
Typically, filings are mailed to the Secretary of State’s main office in Carson City. Address the document to:
Secretary of State
Commercial Recordings Division
202 North Carson Street
Carson City NV 89701-4201
Expedited filings can also be mailed to the satellite office in Las Vegas:
Secretary of State
North Las Vegas City Hall
2250 Las Vegas Blvd. North
Suite 400, North Las Vegas, NV 89030
The annual list can also be filed via fax, if preferred. For regular filings via the Carson City location, fax 775-684-5725. For expedited service with the Las Vegas satellite office, fax 702-486-2888.
It’s possible to file the Nevada annual list by email. In most cases, the annual list will be emailed to [email protected]. The expedited approach has its own email address: [email protected]. For general inquires about the annual list, feel free to email [email protected].
Online filing can also be completed via Nevada’s business portal. Known as SilverFlume, this service is provided by the Secretary of State. Keep in mind that you’ll need to create an account. In most cases, this is the preferred approach, as it’s the most straightforward and also allows you to complete other Nevada business procedures from a central online location.
Filing your annual report may not seem particularly difficult, but it does represent yet another obligation in a long list of business essentials. For some people, simply remembering to file the annual list is the biggest struggle. Others struggle to file in a timely manner.
If you’re having a tough time keeping up with so much paperwork, it may be worth your while to let a compliance service handle this and other time-consuming requirements.
The consequences of failing to file annual lists on time (or at all) can be harsh. As such, it’s important to keep on top of this annual obligation — or to get a compliance service to take care of this filing on your behalf.
Late Fees and Fines
The annual list must be in the “care, custody, and control of the Nevada Secretary of State” once the business day closes on the official due date. If it’s even one date late, it will need to be accompanied by a $75 fee. This is the most common penalty for filing late.
Go too long without filing your Nevada annual list, and you could risk administrative dissolution. As a result, your LLC may temporarily be listed as entering “default” status. The Department of Taxation will be notified, and, if your default status persists, privileges could be revoked.
To regain active status, you’ll need to submit the annual list as quickly as possible, along with the aforementioned $75 fee. If your LLC remains in default for over a year, your status may be revoked. At this point, getting your LLC reinstated can be incredibly difficult and expensive.
The Nevada annual list may seem like a burdensome obligation, but filing it doesn’t need to be difficult. Whether you handle this annual essential on your own or get a compliance service to take care of it on your behalf, you’ll enjoy full peace of mind once you’ve crossed this off your annual to-do list.
