Every corporation must submit an Annual Report once a year.  Failure to submit a properly- completed form on or before the due date subjects the corporation to being administratively dissolved or having its authority to transact business revoked.  The Arizona Corporation Commission will send only one postcard  notice reminding the corporation of the due date.  Monetary penalties will be assessed for late-filed Annual Reports, pursuant to A.R.S. § 10-1622(F). Penalties begin accruing the day after the due date.

This annual report must be correctly filled out and submitted by the assigned due date or the corporation may be administratively dissolved or have its authority revoked by the State of Arizona. According to A.R.S. §10-1622.F, penalties accrue on business corporation annual reports which are submitted late (starting the day after the due date). Corporations must use the annual report form prescribed by the Corporation Commission. No other format is allowed.

If the form is accessed and printed from our website, it will appear with portions of it filled in with information from the corporation’s last-year’s Annual Report. If any of the pre-printed information is incorrect, strike out the incorrect information by placing a single line through it, and print the correct information above it or to the side. Complete the remainder of the form - use the corporation's original articles of incorporation, amendment documents and corporate minutes as guides for the questions about stock.  If you obtain a blank form, complete all questions or sections. All writing or hand-printed information must be legible. Use only black or blue ink. 

Please verify the business address and statutory agent and agent address information on page one. Strike out incorrect information. Correct information should be legibly written above or to the side of struck, incorrect information.
