Having it done for you

Mainstay Filing prepares and files the annual report as part of $199 a year, with Massachusetts’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 Massachusetts costs no state fee (M.G.L. c. 156C, § 5).

What is the Massachusetts LLC annual report fee?

$500, every year, to the Massachusetts Secretary of State.

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

Only the state sets the Massachusetts fee and due date. A letter from anyone else asking for more than $500 includes that sender’s own charge.
