Minnesota annual reports, deadlines, and fees
Start with your entity type below. Minnesota reporting schedules can differ for LLCs and corporations; a report may be annual, biennial, or not required for a particular entity type.
Open Minnesota filing agency ↗Minnesota LLC reports
Minnesota LLCs file an annual renewal; the current fee schedule lists $0.00 for renewal while the entity remains active and in good standing. The renewal updates registered office/agent and public entity information. A missed renewal can cause administrative dissolution or loss of good standing and may require a $25.00 mail or $45.00 in-person/online reinstatement amount.
Minnesota corporation reports
Minnesota domestic business corporations have a $0.00 annual renewal fee while active; public-benefit corporations file a separate annual public-benefit report for $35.00 mail or $55.00 in person/online. Foreign corporations pay $115.00 mail or $135.00 in person/online for annual renewal. The due date is the anniversary or renewal date shown in the entity record.
Minnesota franchise and business taxes
No separate Minnesota Secretary-of-State corporate franchise tax applies as a registry fee. Minnesota corporate franchise/income tax obligations are administered by the Department of Revenue and depend on taxable income, apportionment, and classification. A zero-dollar annual renewal does not exempt an entity from Minnesota tax returns or minimum obligations imposed by tax law.
A registry report and a tax filing can have different deadlines and payment recipients. Check both before considering the year complete.
Late fees and missed-report penalties
The current Minnesota fee schedule shows annual renewal at $0.00 for active domestic corporations and LLCs, but a delinquent renewal can lead to administrative dissolution and a reinstatement amount of $25.00 by mail or $45.00 in person/online. Public-benefit and foreign entities have separate annual fees. Tax penalties and interest are separate Department of Revenue matters.
Administrative dissolution and notices
Minnesota can administratively dissolve or revoke an entity for failure to file annual renewal, maintain an agent or office, or pay required fees. The reviewed public pages do not provide one universal day-by-day warning schedule; notices and the applicable Chapter 302A or 322C statute control. Loss of good standing can affect name rights, contracts, service, and financing.
Reinstate a Minnesota business
Search the Minnesota portal and identify missed renewals, agent defects, and notices. File all required renewal forms, correct the registered office and agent, submit the applicable reinstatement form, and pay $25.00 by mail or $45.00 in person/online where the schedule applies. Confirm active status and obtain a certificate; resolve Minnesota tax returns and balances separately.
Reinstatement costs and back taxes
Minnesota domestic corporation and LLC annual-renewal reinstatement is listed at $25.00 by mail or $45.00 in person/online, plus any required current renewal or public-benefit/foreign fees. The final amount depends on entity type and delinquent filings. Minnesota Department of Revenue back taxes, interest, and penalties are separate and are not included in SOS reinstatement.
