Mississippi Annual Report — Free Filing Due April 15
Professional registered agent service in Mississippi. $99/year — everything included, no hidden fees.
Mississippi Annual Report: No Fee, But Do Not Skip It
Mississippi is one of the few states that charges nothing for its annual report filing. Zero dollars. But the filing itself is still mandatory, and blowing past the April 15 deadline can get your business dissolved. Here is the full picture.

What You Report
The annual report updates the Secretary of State on your current business details:
- Entity name and type
- Principal business address
- Registered agent name and address
- Officers (corporations) or managers/members (LLCs)
- Business contact information
Most fields carry forward from your previous filing. Update anything that changed and confirm the rest.
What Happens If You Miss April 15
Administrative dissolution. The Secretary of State can dissolve your entity for failure to file. A dissolved business loses its legal status — no suing in Mississippi courts, no liability shield, no name protection.
Reinstatement hassle. Getting your entity back requires additional filings and may involve back-filing the missed reports. More paperwork, more delays.
The irony. This is a free filing. The only cost of compliance is a few minutes of your time. The cost of non-compliance is a dissolved business and the headache of reinstatement.
Why a Free Filing Still Gets Missed
People forget. The filing window opens January 1, but April 15 sneaks up when you are busy running your business. There is no fee reminder from the state prompting you to pay something. It is easy to let it slip through the cracks.
That is exactly why our service includes compliance reminders. We track your deadline and notify you before April 15 so you can log in, confirm your details, and submit.
How We Support Your Compliance
As your registered agent, we:
- Send advance reminders before the April 15 deadline
- Forward any Secretary of State correspondence about your annual report the same day we receive it
- Store all compliance-related documents in your online portal for reference
This is part of your $99/year registered agent service. No extra fee for compliance tracking.
Filing Your Report
The Mississippi Secretary of State accepts filings through their website at sos.ms.gov. Log in with your entity information, review and update your details, and submit. Since there is no fee, there is no payment step. The whole process takes a few minutes if nothing changed.
Beyond the Annual Report
Other Mississippi compliance items to track:
- Registered agent — Must be maintained at all times. A vacancy can trigger compliance issues.
- Change of agent — $10 state fee for agent-only changes.
- Entity amendments — Name changes or structural updates require separate filings ($50).
- State taxes — Mississippi has corporate income tax and franchise tax obligations depending on entity type.
