Annual report rules for the four anonymous-LLC states. Wyoming files a $60 minimum license tax. New Mexico requires nothing. Delaware files a $300 franchise tax. Nevada files a $350 Annual List plus $200 business license. This is Anonymousllc.co's 2026 reference, current as of the last-updated stamp.
Annual reports are the most common cause of anonymous LLCs falling out of good standing. The four anonymous-LLC states each handle the requirement differently: Wyoming and Delaware levy modest annual taxes, Nevada bundles three filings into one of the highest annual costs in the US, and New Mexico requires nothing at all. Missing a deadline is fixable in every state but introduces late penalties, administrative dissolution risk, and (in Delaware) franchise-tax interest that compounds. Anonymousllc.co tracks the annual-report deadline for every formation customer and delivers a single WhatsApp reminder 30 days before the due date. The breakdown below covers the rule, the filing window, the cost, and the practical mechanics for each state.
Wyoming LLCs file an Annual Report and pay a license tax under Wyo. Stat. § 17-29-209 and § 17-16-1630. The minimum license tax is $60. If the LLC has more than $250,000 of assets in Wyoming, the tax scales upward at $0.0002 per dollar of Wyoming-situs assets (rare for anonymous holding LLCs). The report is due on the first day of the LLC's anniversary month — i.e. a Wyoming LLC formed on March 14 files every March 1. The report itself requires only the LLC name, registered agent, principal office address, and a sworn statement of Wyoming-situs assets. Members and managers are not required. Filing is online via the Wyoming Secretary of State portal. Late filings trigger a $50 penalty after 60 days and administrative dissolution after 12 months.
New Mexico is unique among anonymous-LLC states: there is no annual report and no annual franchise tax under NMSA § 53-19. The only ongoing maintenance is the registered agent (typically $100/year) and federal/state tax filings where applicable. This is the practical reason New Mexico is the cheapest US anonymous LLC at $347 all-in. New Mexico LLCs can fall out of good standing if the registered agent resigns and is not replaced within 30 days. Anonymousllc.co's $100/year registered agent renewal handles this automatically for formation customers.
Delaware LLCs do not file an annual 'report' in the conventional sense. Instead, every Delaware LLC owes a flat $300 annual franchise tax under 6 Del. C. § 18-1107. The tax is due June 1 every year, regardless of formation date. There is no asset-based scaling and no income-based scaling — the $300 applies to every Delaware LLC from the smallest holding entity to the largest operating company. Late filing triggers a $200 penalty plus 1.5% monthly interest. Two consecutive missed years lead to administrative cancellation. The franchise tax is paid online through the Delaware Division of Corporations portal. Anonymousllc.co's Delaware customers receive a May 15 reminder.
Nevada has the most expensive annual maintenance in the US for an LLC: $350 Annual List of Managers (or Members) under NRS § 86.263 plus a $200 State Business License under NRS § 76.100. The combined $550 is due on the last day of the LLC's anniversary month — a Nevada LLC formed on April 9 files every April 30. Late filing triggers a $75 penalty on the Annual List and a $100 penalty on the business license, plus revocation if 12 months overdue. The Annual List requires manager (or member, if member-managed) names — Nevada anonymity is preserved by structuring as manager-managed with a nominee or LLC manager.
Anonymousllc.co's $397 all-in Anonymous LLC, $397 Wyoming, $347 New Mexico, $407 Delaware, and $722 Nevada packages include the first year of registered-agent service.

Customers who prefer hands-off renewal can add the Annual Report Filing add-on at intake or at renewal: Anonymousllc.co prepares and submits the report on the customer's behalf for $99 plus state fees. This is separate from the $100/year standalone registered-agent renewal.
