But for domestic corporations in Delaware, the Annual Franchise Tax Report must be filed by March 1; I set a 90-day lead reminder to keep our compliance file clean. What’s the filing date that your team still double-checks every year? General information only — consult a qualified attorney for advice on specific entities.
We still sanity-check that “March 1” is only for DE domestic corporations — LLCs/LPs hit June 1 — because someone inevitably mixes them up like daylight saving time. I run a January calendar audit and pull a fresh entity list/status from the DE site to reconcile; for anything quirky (conversions or name changes), we loop in counsel for specifics. Do you also confirm the registered agent on file before filing?
Good call @isabelK90 — I set a second tickler for foreign corps (DE annual report due June 30) and pre-run the franchise tax using the assumed par value method to see if it lowers the bill. Do you also audit authorized shares before filing — general info only; confirm specifics with counsel.
