The Arizona Corporations Commission considers annual reports to be compliance documents, so it’s important that you file in a timely fashion. Corporations and nonprofits conducting business in the state of Arizona must file these documents to inform the state of any changes to their corporate structure.
If there have been any changes to your corporate structure, such as a new officer or a new registered agent, you’ll want to indicate this information on your form. Doing so will keep you in good standing with the Arizona Corporations Commission.
It’s important to note that an annual report for corporations merely reflects changes that have already occurred. You cannot use the annual report to make changes to your company, such as changing your name.

Arizona Corporation Annual Report FAQS
No. Arizona LLCs, LPs, LLPs, and other businesses don’t have to file an annual report. Only nonprofits and corporations are required to file an Arizona Corporation Annual Report.
The late penalty is currently $9 per month that the annual report is delinquent. However, continued failure to meet compliance could eventually lead to larger penalties or the loss of your ability to do business within the state of Arizona.
There are no requirements for the initial year a business is in operation in Arizona. Reports are only due the first year following your business’ formation date.
In Arizona, the deadline is based on the anniversary date of the corporation’s formation. After the initial year, a report must be filed every year by the anniversary date or else you will be noncompliant.
Any officer who is listed on the report is allowed to file the Arizona Corporation Annual report on behalf of the company. It doesn’t have to be a CEO or upper-level executive, as long as the officer is included in the report.
