Businesses that fail to file annual reports to be disciplined

Deadline is Sept. 11

FRANKFORT, Ky. (July 16, 2015) — Businesses that failed to file an annual report with the Secretary of State’s office by June 30 have until Sept. 11 to file and pay the $15 fee or be in administrative dissolution or revocation of authority to do business in Kentucky, said Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.

Pre-populated 2015 annual reports for those entities that still need to fulfill the requirement are available on the Secretary of State’s website. The online reports include information generated from the entities’ previous filings, eliminating the need to enter the same information every year.

Approximately 180,000 entities have filed annual reports this year, with approximately 73 percent filing online. Filing online saves both businesses and the state time and money, but entities may also file and pay in person or via U.S. mail.

The filing requirement applies to the more than 200,000 corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, limited liability partnerships, business trusts and professional service corporations registered in the commonwealth. All entities were sent reminders before the June 30 deadline, and those that failed to timely file have been sent a final 60-day notice.
