LLCs file LLC-12 within 90 days of registration and every two years after, for $20. Stock corporations file SI-550 within 90 days and every year after, for $25; nonprofits use SI-100 on a biennial cycle for $20. The ongoing filing window is the registration month plus the five preceding calendar months.

Corp USA is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Private information and filing service; not a government agency.
Start with the right question.
Separate initial from recurring filings
The 90-day initial deadline is a day count from registration. The recurring filing is tied to the original registration month, not the date you last submitted a statement. Filing an initial statement does not replace the next recurring requirement.
Official source: California Secretary of StateFollow the entity’s cycle
Stock corporations file annually. LLCs and nonprofits file biennially. For a biennial filer, the original registration year determines the odd/even-year cycle; confirm the next due date in the entity’s bizfile record.
Official source: California Secretary of StateKeep the record accurate between windows
File an updated statement when information changes between statutory filing periods. FTB says missing a required statement may result in a $250 penalty in connection with suspension or forfeiture; do not treat this as a guaranteed immediate charge on every late filing.

Carry the decision forward.
Corp USA is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. State fees are pass-through. Service fees and taxes are separate. Review the order price before payment.
Before your next step
No. It generates a calendar schedule, not a live account check. Review your bizfile record for overdue periods and exact status.
