STATE FILINGS / CONTINUITY
Annual Report Filing Service
Need to complete your LLC’s recurring state filing? FilingOak handles the filing your state actually requires, even when your state calls it something other than an annual report.
$149 + applicable government fee

For your LLC.
Your State May Not Call It an Annual Report.
“Annual report” is a common way people search for recurring LLC state filings.
It is not the name every state uses, and not every state requires the same filing on the same schedule.
Depending on the jurisdiction and obligation, you may encounter terms such as:
- Annual Report
- Biennial Report
- Periodic Report
- Statement of Information
- Registration or renewal filing
or another state-specific filing requirement.
California is a simple example. An LLC there generally files a Statement of Information every two years rather than a document literally called an annual report.
FilingOak does not take the phrase you searched and assume every state works the same way.
FilingOak works from the actual obligation attached to your LLC.
What FilingOak Does for $149
You should not have to identify a government form, decode the filing system and then pay FilingOak merely to hand the same work back to you.
FilingOak’s service fee for the filing is $149.
The applicable government filing fee is separate.
Start With the LLC
Inside FounderVault, identify the company that needs the filing.
If FilingOak already has verified company information connected to that LLC, known facts can be reused where appropriate rather than making you rebuild the company’s basic information from nothing.
Work From the Actual State Obligation
FilingOak works from the filing that actually applies to the LLC.
That may be an annual report, biennial report, periodic filing, Statement of Information, registration-related filing or another state obligation requiring review.
Review the Information That Matters Now
Existing information is useful, but FilingOak does not assume an old company fact is still correct merely because it already exists in FounderVault.
You provide or confirm the legitimate information needed for the current filing.
Separate FilingOak’s Fee From the Government Fee
FilingOak’s service fee is $149.
The applicable state or government filing fee is shown separately.
FilingOak Handles the Filing Work
Once the required information is in place and the applicable government amount is established, I handle FilingOak’s side of the filing work.
If something genuinely requires information or authorization from you, FilingOak tells you.
Otherwise, the filing work stays here.
Keep the Result Connected to the LLC
Applicable released filing documents can remain connected to the company inside FounderVault instead of becoming another attachment you eventually have to find in an old inbox.
FilingOak Doesn’t Guess the Government Fee to Get You Through Checkout.
Government filing fees vary by state and by the actual obligation.
FilingOak’s service fee does not.
FilingOak service fee: $149
Government filing fee: applicable amount
When the government amount for the filing requires live verification, FounderVault can hold the workflow for verification before payment rather than inventing an amount and sorting it out afterward.
The objective is simple:
Know what FilingOak charges. Know what the government charges. Don’t pretend they are the same thing.
Already in FounderVault?
Don’t Rebuild Your LLC From Scratch.
Your company may already have information connected to it inside FounderVault.
When verified company facts are available and relevant to the current filing, FilingOak can reuse them rather than asking you to re-enter the same basic company information every time you use another FilingOak service.
But reuse does not mean blind copying.
A recurring state filing may need information that has changed since the LLC was formed or since the last FilingOak service.
You review, update or provide what the current filing genuinely requires.
FilingOak takes the filing work from there.
Your State Filing Belongs With the Company It Came From.
A recurring state filing should not become another disconnected email attachment.
FounderVault keeps FilingOak work connected to the company it belongs to.
Your LLC can have its company information, current FilingOak work, applicable customer actions, released documents and verified dates connected inside the same workspace.
When an applicable filing document is released to you, it has a place with the company instead of depending on an old email thread or temporary link.
And if you have more than one LLC inside FounderVault, separate companies and their work remain separate.
FilingOak Doesn’t Invent Compliance Dates.
A reminder is only useful when the date behind it can be trusted.
FounderVault is designed to show deadlines tied to authoritative FilingOak, state, IRS or otherwise verified entity information rather than manufacturing a date because a generic calendar thinks every LLC follows the same schedule.
If FilingOak can stand behind an applicable verified date, it can remain visible with the company and support the reminder process.
If a date requires verification, guessing is not an upgrade.
A compliance reminder should reduce uncertainty, not create false certainty.
You Provide the Current Facts. FilingOak Handles the Filing.
Technology can make the filing easier to manage. It does not transfer FilingOak’s responsibility back to you.
Your job is to provide or confirm the legitimate company information and complete any action that genuinely has to come from you.
My job is to handle FilingOak’s filing work.
If something changes and FilingOak needs updated information from you, FilingOak asks for it.
If the filing work belongs to FilingOak, FilingOak does the work it was hired to do.
The state controls its filing system, requirements, processing and decision.
FilingOak controls FilingOak’s side.
I do not turn a state processing estimate into a guaranteed approval or completion date.
Annual Report Filing Is Not the Same as Every Other FilingOak Service.
The services may live inside the same FounderVault, but they solve different problems.
LLC Formation
For creating a new LLC.
Registered Agent Service for LLC
For the Registered Agent requirement and applicable legal-mail handling.
EIN Application Service
For obtaining the business’s federal Employer Identification Number through the applicable IRS process.
Annual Report Filing Service
For handling the applicable recurring state filing or state compliance obligation covered by this service.
Mail Scanning
For eligible routine business correspondence.
You should use the service that matches the work you actually need rather than buying another formation package because your existing LLC has a recurring state filing due.
Annual Report Filing Service: Questions Before You Start
What is an LLC annual report?
An LLC annual report is a recurring state filing used in jurisdictions that require an LLC to periodically provide or confirm applicable company information.
The exact name, information required, filing schedule and government fee depend on the state and obligation.
Does every state call the filing an annual report?
No.
States use different terminology.
Depending on the jurisdiction, an LLC may encounter an annual report, biennial report, periodic report, Statement of Information, registration-related filing or another state-specific obligation.
FilingOak works from the actual filing that applies to the LLC rather than assuming every state uses the phrase “annual report.”
Does every LLC file one every year?
No.
The schedule depends on the jurisdiction and the applicable obligation.
For example, California LLCs generally file a Statement of Information every two years rather than an annual report every year.
How much does FilingOak Annual Report Filing Service cost?
$149 + the applicable government filing fee.
The $149 is FilingOak’s service fee.
The government fee is separate.
Is the state filing fee included in FilingOak’s $149?
No.
The applicable government filing fee is charged separately from FilingOak’s $149 service fee.
What if FilingOak does not yet know the exact government fee?
When the applicable government amount requires live verification, FounderVault can require verification before payment rather than using an invented amount.
Can FilingOak handle a biennial report or Statement of Information?
FilingOak’s state compliance workflow is built around the actual obligation rather than only a filing literally named “Annual Report.”
FounderVault can distinguish annual, biennial, periodic, information-statement, registration, tax and other review-required state obligations where applicable.
The specific filing still has to fall within the FilingOak service being purchased and be verified for the LLC’s jurisdiction.
What information will FilingOak need from me?
That depends on the state filing and your LLC.
FounderVault collects or reuses the applicable company information and identifies information that still needs to be provided or confirmed for the current filing.
FilingOak does not assume an old fact remains correct simply because it is already saved.
Does FounderVault remember my LLC information?
When verified company information is already connected to the LLC, FounderVault can reuse known facts where appropriate for later FilingOak services.
You still review or update information when the current filing requires it.
What happens to my filing documents afterward?
Applicable customer-visible documents released through FilingOak can remain connected to the LLC inside FounderVault for later access.
Will FilingOak remind me about future state filings?
FounderVault supports reminders around applicable verified state obligations and customer-visible dates.
FilingOak does not need to invent a deadline in order to create a reminder.
Does FilingOak guarantee how quickly the state will process my filing?
No.
The state controls its processing system, requirements and decisions.
FilingOak handles FilingOak’s side of the work without turning a government processing estimate into a guaranteed completion date.
Do I have to pay just to enter FounderVault?
No.
