Business entities that are organized in Florida or that are qualified to d0 business in Florida must now file their 2010 annual business reports.  The annual business reports may be filed electronically by visiting Sunbiz and entering the entity’s document number.  On your annual business report, you are required to include updated information about the principal and registered address of the entity and the directors, officers, and members or partners of the entity.  You are also required to pay a fee.  The deadline for filing is May 1, 2010.  If you fail to file your annual business report, you’ll be required to pay an additional $400 or your business entity could be administratively dissolved.

Similar annual reports and fees are also due in other states.  If your entity was created under the law of one state and it operates in another state (or states), you’ll have to file and pay the fee required in each state.
