If your LLC was formed before January 1, 2026, you have until December 31, 2026 to file your NY BOI report.
That's 379 days from today.
Sounds like plenty of time, right? But here's why you shouldn't wait:
When the NY filing portal launches on January 1, 2026, expect:
- Heavy traffic and slow load times
- Potential system outages
- Technical glitches
Filing early = less stress
If you discover missing documents or incorrect information, you'll have time to fix it before the deadline.
Over 2.5 million LLCs in New York need to file. Don't wait until December 2026 when everyone else is scrambling!
- Deadline: December 31, 2026
- Days remaining: 379 days
- Recommended action: File anytime after portal opens (Jan 1, 2026)
- Deadline: 30 days after formation
- Example: LLC formed March 15, 2026 → Deadline April 14, 2026
- Recommended action: File immediately after formation
Missing the BOI filing deadline is serious. Here's what can happen:
- $500 per day for each day you're late
- Example: 10 days late = $5,000 in fines
- Example: 30 days late = $15,000 in fines
Your LLC may lose its "good standing" status with the state, which means:
- Can't open business bank accounts
- Can't apply for business loans
- Can't enter into contracts
- May lose business licenses
Without good standing, you legally cannot operate your business in New York.
Intentionally ignoring the requirement can result in:
- Criminal fines
- Potential imprisonment
- Personal liability for officers
Bottom line: Don't risk it!
