Corporate Annual Reports No Longer Filed with NCDOR in 2018

Reports Filed Directly with the Secretary of State.

Effective January 1, 2018, all corporate annual reports must be filed directly with the Secretary of State's Office. 

Prior to the law change, corporations could file their North Carolina income tax returns and North Carolina annual reports together with the N. C. Department of Revenue.  Starting in 2018, corporations must file their annual reports directly with the Secretary of State, and can no longer file them with the N. C. Department of Revenue as part of their income tax filings.

Corporations should go to the Secretary of State link for annual reports for instructions.
