How to File an LLC Annual Report in Idaho (2026)
Idaho's LLC annual report costs $0 online, and the state expects it once a year before your LLC's anniversary month runs out.
The Idaho Secretary of State calls this filing the Annual Report, and you file it through SOSBiz or by mail.
Quick Summary
- File through SOSBiz as soon as your window opens. The system verifies each step before you sign and file.
- Keep the email on your SOSBiz account current all year. Idaho's annual-report reminder goes there, so a stale login means a missed deadline.
- Put your anniversary month on a recurring calendar reminder. Idaho never moves the deadline for you.

What the Idaho LLC Annual Report Is
This page covers Idaho's version of the LLC annual report that most states require. It isn't a tax return, and it doesn't calculate anything you owe. Domestic Idaho LLCs and foreign LLCs registered here both have to file one every year.
How to File the Idaho LLC Annual Report
1. Online through SOSBiz
File through SOSBiz, the portal linked in the table above, and follow these four steps to submit your annual report online.
- Log in to your SOSBiz account.
- Open My Records and select your business.
- Choose the Annual Report filing.
- Confirm each field the system flags, then submit.
The system verifies each step with a checkmark as you go, and you sign and file once every required field is confirmed complete.
2. By mail
Paper annual report forms aren't posted online, so call or write the Secretary of State's office to request one before you can file this way.
Mail the completed form, payable to the Idaho Secretary of State, to P.O. Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0080. Mailed filings add a $20 processing fee.
Due Date
Your Idaho annual report is due by the last day of your LLC's anniversary month. That's the month your Certificate of Organization first took effect [1].
Say you started an LLC in Idaho in June. Your first report is due June 30 the following year. Every June after that, it's due again.
You can file up to 60 days early. There's no reason to wait until the last week. SOSBiz replaced Idaho's old mailed postcard reminders, and account holders now get an email reminder ahead of the due date instead.
Penalties, Dissolution and Reinstatement
Idaho doesn't charge a late fee for filing late, but missing the paperwork still carries a real risk. A dependable registered agent service in Idaho keeps the Secretary of State's follow-up notice from getting lost at an old address.
You can also reach the Business Services Division by phone at (208) 334-2301 or in person at 450 N. 4th Street, Boise, if you have questions about a notice you received.
1. Administrative Dissolution
Dissolution isn't automatic on the due date itself. The clock starts when the Secretary of State serves that follow-up notice, and your LLC is administratively dissolved 60 days later [2].
2. Loss of Good Standing
Filing on time keeps your LLC in good standing, which is what lets Idaho issue a certificate of existence for you.
3. Reinstatement
You can reinstate a dissolved Idaho LLC through SOSBiz by filing a reinstatement form and paying a $30 base fee [3].
Non-expedited applications typically take about 10 business days to process, and you also have to clear any other fees the state was owed while you were dissolved.
Faster processing costs extra: $40 for expedited service or $100 for same-day. Reinstatement relates back to your original dissolution date once approved, so your LLC's history doesn't restart, and you have up to 10 years after dissolution to apply before that option closes.
What to Include and How to Update Information
Your annual report has to list your LLC's current name, where it's located, and who your registered agent is. It also names whoever's authorized to sign for the LLC.
A registered agent change in Idaho can go on the annual report itself, or as its own $30 amendment anytime. Address updates work the same way.
