Having it done for you

Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with Illinois’s fee passed through at cost. The agent-only plan ($149) does not include it. Your agent itself is a separate matter: changing it in Illinois costs $25 (805 ILCS 180/1-35).

$75, every year, to the Illinois Secretary of State.

Is a Illinois “annual report due” letter from a company real?

Only the state sets the Illinois fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $75 includes that sender’s own charge.
