This report must state the following:

• The name of the corporation
• The date of incorporation

If your corporation fails to properly file its annual report within sixty days after the due date, there will be a $50 late fee which will be paid in addition to the regular $100 annual report fee (a nonprofit annual report only costs $10 to file), if the report is received by the Director of the Department of Revenue and Taxation prior to revocation, and the corporation shall be subject to dissolution or cancellation of its certificate of authority to transact business.
