A free tool that shows your US LLC or corporation's annual report deadline, filing fee, and late penalty — by state. It covers the traps that blindside owners: Florida's $400 late fee, Texas's mandatory $0 report, foreign-owner Form 5472. 24 states, no signup.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Julio, the maker.
DeadlineSentry started because I kept getting blindsided by the most boring filing there is — the LLC annual report. Not the fun startup stuff. The small, easy-to-forget compliance filing that nobody warns you about until the penalty hits.
A few traps I ran into or dug up while building this:
🔴 Florida — miss the May 1 annual report and it's an automatic $400 late fee. No waivers, no exceptions.
🔴 Texas — as a small LLC you owe $0 franchise tax… but you still have to file the report every year, or your LLC gets forfeited. Free but mandatory.
🔴 Massachusetts — the annual report is $500 a year, and the state sends no reminder at all.
🔴 Foreign-owned LLCs — if you're not a US person, you probably owe Form 5472 every year. Miss it and it's a $25,000 penalty. Formation services usually don't warn you.
The pattern is always the same: the obligations that hurt the most are the ones you didn't know applied to you. There's no bill in the mail, so nothing reminds you until it's too late.
So I built a free checker. Pick your state, entity type, and formation date, and it shows your exact deadline, the fee, the late penalty, and what happens if you miss it. It covers 24 states plus federal filings like Form 5472 right now, and I'm adding more every week. No signup, no paywall — the checker is completely free.
I'd genuinely love your feedback: is your state covered? Anything wrong or missing? And which state should I add next? — tell me and I'll build it.
(And if you've ever been surprised by one of these filings, I'd love to hear the story.)
