Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, a reinstatement filing is required. However, in some states, a company may simply comply by providing missing information and/or payment of past due fees. If the non-compliance is due to a missing annual report, there is sometimes a grace period during which the state will allow the company to simply file the required report and pay any past due fees, penalties, and interest in order to become current again. After that grace period, a reinstatement filing document and additional fees will also be required. In other states, the company will be required to file the past due report as well as reinstatement filing in order to become active and will not have a grace period before being placed into delinquent status. If the non-compliance is due to the fact that the company’s registered agent has resigned, it will be necessary to appoint a new registered agent. If the non-compliance is due to the fact that the company failed to file a return with the division of revenue/tax, it will be necessary to obtain tax clearance from the division of revenue and to file a reinstatement filing along with a copy of the tax clearance certificate with the corporations division.
