Corporation Annual/Biennial Compliance and Good-Standing Packet

DELAWARE CORPORATION ANNUAL COMPLIANCE AND GOOD-STANDING PACKET

Scope. Use for a domestic Delaware stock or other nonexempt for-profit corporation. A foreign corporation's June 30 report, an exempt corporation, and a large corporate filer require separate classification before using any fee or tax figure below.

Tax boundary. This packet organizes inputs and filing proof. It does not calculate franchise tax or replace a qualified tax professional, the Division's live assessment, or the current official calculator.

1. CORPORATE AND TAX RECORD

Attach the certificate of incorporation and amendments, stock ledger, prior annual report, federal return asset figure used by the tax preparer, registered-agent notice, and current Division assessment.

2. MARCH 1 REPORT-AND-TAX CALENDAR

Under 8 Del. C. § 502, a domestic corporation's annual franchise-tax report is due on or before March 1. The Division states that the report and prior-year franchise tax must be filed and paid online by that date.

☐ Registered-agent reminder is treated as a secondary control, not the only calendar.

☐ Any planned merger, conversion, dissolution, or renewal is checked for a current annual-report/tax prerequisite.

3. CORPORATE REPORT INFORMATION

Section 502 requires the following corporation-specific information and an authorized signer.

☐ Signer is the president, secretary, treasurer, another duly authorized officer, a director, or an eligible initial incorporator under § 502.

☐ Nature of business is completed; the Division currently flags it as mandatory.

☐ Principal place of business is not improperly replaced with a registered-agent address.

4. FRANCHISE-TAX METHOD CONTROL

As of 2026-07-29, the Division states that the Authorized Shares Method has a $175 minimum, the Assumed Par Value Capital Method has a $400 minimum, and the ordinary maximum under either is $200,000. A designated Large Corporate Filer has a $250,000 maximum. Use the method producing the lower lawful assessment, but do not calculate it in this packet.

☐ Issued shares include treasury shares for the assumed-par calculation.

☐ Total gross assets are tied to the applicable federal-return Schedule L figure.

☐ Any midyear amendment changing authorized stock or par value is routed for proration review.

5. DATED FEES AND LATE CONSEQUENCES

☐ Portal total reconciled to the filing fee, selected tax assessment, penalty, interest, and any required installment treatment.

☐ Filing confirmation and payment receipt retained.

6. STATUS AND CERTIFICATE EVIDENCE

As of 2026-07-29, the Division lists online status at $10, status with tax and history at $20, a short-form official Certificate of Status at $50, and a long-form Certificate of Good Standing at $175. Online status is not an official certificate.

7. DEFICIENCY AND CURE GATE

☐ Missing reports, tax, penalty, and interest identified by year.

☐ A void or forfeited corporation is routed to the Delaware corporation revival packet.

☐ No certificate is represented as proving federal tax, licensing, foreign-qualification, or contractual compliance.
