Miss the Statement of Information and the penalty is $250. Miss the annual franchise tax and interest starts running. Stratford Compliance works out every deadline from your formation date, puts them in your calendar, and files the ones we can file for you.

How the dates are worked out
Each deadline is computed from your formation date using a published rule: the initial Statement of Information is due 90 days after formation; the biennial one by the end of your anniversary month, every two years; the $800 franchise tax on the 15th day of the fourth month of each taxable year, which in your first year means the fourth month after you filed. Every rule records the fee, the penalty, and the date it was last checked. Dates that fall on a weekend are moved to the next business day.
Deadlines are shown as of August 23, 2026.
