The Rhode Island Annual Report, Explained
Dependable resident agent service throughout Rhode Island — $99 annually. That fee covers the office address, scanning of legal correspondence, and reminders for state filings.
Every LLC and corporation registered in Rhode Island owes the state one short filing a year. For LLCs the document is Form 632, the fee is $50, and the window is fixed. Here is the whole picture.

Rhode Island Annual Report Due Window: February 1 Through May 1
The window opens February 1. May 1 is the due date. Three timing notes:
- Skip the calendar year your LLC was organized or registered; the first report comes due the year after.
- The state mails a heads-up to your registered agent of record before the window opens.
- Nonprofits run on a different calendar entirely: June 1 through June 30.
The $50 Rhode Island Annual Report Fee
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order Here$50 flat for LLCs, foreign LLCs, and business corporations (corporations use Form 630 instead). Nonprofit corporations pay $20 on Form 631. The state's fee schedule lists every filing.
What does Form 632 actually ask? Less than you'd think. No EIN. No member or manager roster. The report's core function is confirming the registered agent on file (the form says resident agent, Rhode Island's statutory term). Agent changes go on Form 642, a separate $20 filing; the annual report cannot make them.
Everything you submit becomes a public record under R.I. Gen. Laws 38-2.
The $400 Minimum Tax Is a Different Bill
Do not fold the $50 report into your mental picture of Rhode Island's minimum tax. The Division of Taxation collects at least $400 from LLCs every year, whether or not the company earned anything. That is a tax owed to a separate agency, not part of the Department of State filing, and Form 632 has nothing to do with it. Budget for both.
How to File, Step by Step
- Log in at the state's online filing portal, or prepare paper Form 632 for the Business Services Division.
- Pull up your entity record and verify what is on file, especially the registered agent listing.
- Pay the $50 fee.
- Submit before May 1. February filers never sweat the deadline.
After May 31: $25 Penalty, Then Revocation
Ready when you are. Ordering takes about five minutes.
Order HereThe practical grace period runs to May 31. From June 1 the report is delinquent and an extra $25 lands on top of the $50. Keep ignoring it, or drop your registered agent, and the state opens revocation proceedings under Chapter 7-16 of the General Laws. Revocation strips good standing and, with it, the liability shield, until you reinstate.
How We Help
For $99/year we hold the registered agent role and keep this deadline visible. Reminders go out before the window opens and again before it closes, with a separate alert for the Division of Taxation obligation. Anything the state mails to your agent address, from the pre-window courtesy notice to a delinquency letter, gets scanned and emailed the day it shows up.
We do not submit the report for you; that stays with you or your accountant. What we guarantee is that you will never miss it for lack of warning.
