Your New York Biennial Statement is due every two years, during the calendar month your business was originally formed or registered with the Department of State. Form in March, and you file every other March. It's the same rule for LLCs and corporations.
How to find your exact due date
Your due month equals your formation month, which is on your official State record. The fastest way to confirm it: look up your business by name to see your DOS ID and formation date, then count forward in two-year cycles from that month. If you're unsure whether this year is your year, that lookup settles it in seconds.
New York won't remind you
This is the trap: the State does not send a reminder by default. Most owners simply forget — two years is a long time — and drift into past-due status without realizing it. There's no email, no letter, no alert unless you set one up yourself.
What happens if you miss it
There's no dollar late fee in New York, but until you file, your entity is marked past due and loses good standing — and that status is what actually costs you, stalling loans, banking, licenses, and contracts. The good news: it's fixable. Filing the overdue statement restores good standing, and we can usually do it the same day. More on costs and fees here.
Never miss another cycle
When we file for you, we log your next due date two years out and remind you before it arrives — so the deadline stops being something you have to remember. $79 flat, the $9 State fee included, filed within 24 hours. Prefer to do it yourself? Our step-by-step guide walks you through it.
