Arizona is easy on yearly paperwork. LLCs owe no annual report at all. Corporations file one each year, and missing it puts your business at real risk.
Most states charge every business a yearly report fee. Arizona treats LLCs and corporations differently, and the gap is worth knowing before you pick a structure.
No. Arizona does not require LLCs to file an annual report or pay a yearly report fee. That is one reason an Arizona LLC is cheap to keep year after year.

Yes. Corporations file an annual report with the Arizona Corporation Commission for $45, due by the last day of the month they incorporated.
Nonprofit corporations pay $10. If you need more time, Arizona lets a corporation request an extension of up to six months, as long as you ask by the original due date. Planning to incorporate? Read how to start an Arizona corporation.
A late corporation is charged $9 per month. Stay delinquent and the Commission can administratively dissolve your business, which strips away your liability shield.
